Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

In the Deep brain stimulation technique, a small pacemaker device is installed in the chest area, which triggers the area of the brain which has control over the body.

These signals block some nerve conduction, which is unknowingly being passed to the organs.

This way, symptoms mainly subside.

The procedure is done in two steps. In the first step, thin wires or electrodes are placed, and in the second step, a pacemaker is installed.


Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is a surgical method of treating a particular type of Parkinson's disease. If a patient has Parkinson's disease, he might have aggravated symptoms like shaking, tremors, rigidity, and loss of movement control.

These symptoms make a person dependent on simple daily routine things. That's why it needs interventional treatment.

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports, if you have, would be helpful when meeting the brain specialist:

  • Imaging reports (CT/MRIs), peripheral nerve testing (EMG), or brain wave testing (EEG)
  • Record of medical tests, results, and reports related to the condition.
  • List all medications and dosages, including supplements, you are taking.

The different specialists in the Neurology department may include the following:

  • Neurosurgeons provide surgical treatments to treat nervous system disorders affecting the spine, brain, hands, legs, arms, and face.
  • Neurologists treat disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as cerebrovascular disease (stroke), multiple sclerosis, headaches, Parkinson's disease, etc.
  • Neurointerventional Surgeons use minimally invasive procedures and image-based technologies to diagnose and treat head, neck, and spine diseases.
  • Pediatric Neurosurgeons deal with the disorders in infants and children.

Many times, one doctor has more than one specialty. You can consult with that specialist, depending on your condition.

Neurosurgeons diagnose and surgically treat disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, including:

  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Trauma
  • Tumors
  • Infections of the brain or spine
  • Stroke
  • Vascular Disorders
  • Degenerative diseases of the spine

Please submit your inquiry on the website. Upon review of the details, a case manager from our team is assigned. The case manager will assist you with opinion, cost, travel, stay, and appointment with the doctor.

Top neurosurgeons use various techniques to manage and monitor complications during neurosurgery, such as physical examination, diagnostic tests, Electromyography (EMG), Intracranial pressure monitoring (ICP, and Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM).

The doctors we list are highly sought after by patients.

We consider experience, designation, patient feedback, hospital reputation and our own experience of working with them amongst many factors in creating the list.

Some of the commonly performed Neurosurgeries include the following:

  • Anterior cervical discectomy to treat herniated discs in the neck
  • Epilepsy neurosurgery to manage seizures
  • Chiari decompression to treat Arnold-Chiari malformation
  • Craniotomy to treat brain strokes
  • Lumbar puncture to determine if the patient has any signs of conditions related to the central nervous system

Additional neurosurgery procedures may include a ventriculostomy, microdiscectomy, spinal fusion, laminectomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
