Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), epilepsy, etc., are often associated with disorientation in signals responsible for brain movement. The treatment includes rehabilitation, therapies, medications, etc. However, sometimes. These diseases get severe and need a surgical procedure.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the surgical procedure used to treat movement disorders by implanting electrodes into the brain. These electrodes focus electrical impulses generated by neurostimulator to areas of the brain responsible for movement. In this way, any disorientation in the electrical signals can be fixed.
This modulation is caused by the generated neurons, which improve symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and other tremor-based brain conditions.
It’s crucial to understand the factors affecting the cost of DBS surgery in Turkey to manage the expenses effectively. Some of the factors are listed below.
Currently, various types and brands of DBS devices approved by FDA are available in the market, each with its own features such as rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, wireless bluetooth connectivity, thin contoured profile etc. These types of devices may impact the overall treatment cost.
Hospital charges include the surgerical expenses, anaesthesia, hospital stay during the treatment, medications etc, which vary with the hospital’s location, reputation, and facilities.
Similarly, the doctor’s charges can vary depending on the experience, expertise, and reputation of the doctor.
Prior to the surgery, neurosurgeons perform pre-surgery assessment which includes blood tests, MRI, CT scan, PET scan, EEG, neuropsychological tests, etc. involving additional costs.
After DBS surgery, neurosurgeons suggest regular consultations to evaluate a patient’s condition so that they can adjust the device’s settings and provide support and guidance if required. Depending on the duration of each session, follow-up sessions may add to the overall cost.

While DBS can significantly improve symptoms, post-treatment care is essential for optimizing outcomes and ensuring long-term benefits.
Here are some key points to consider in post-treatment care after DBS surgery:
Strong magnetic fields as in case of MRI scans can interfere with the DBS device. Hence, it should be avoided or must be informed to prior to the scans.
It is advisable to keep the surgical site clean and free from any type of potential infection. One should follow guidelines on wound care and activity restrictions as per their doctor’s suggestions.
Regular follow-up visits are crucial when external devices (neurostimuldoctor’s electrodes) are inserted into the body to adjust the DBS settings. During follow-ups, doctors monitor device functionality and efficiency as well.
After DBS surgery, physical therapy helps to improve strength, balance, and coordination, especially for conditions like Parkinson’s disease.
By following these post-treatment care guidelines, one can optimize their recovery, maximize the benefits so that they can have a higher quality of life after the treatment.
