Brain Battery

Overview

Deep Brain Stimulation, also known as a brain battery, is a neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into certain brain areas, these electrodes will be connected through wires placed under the skin to a medical device called a neurostimulator, sometimes referred to as a “brain pacemaker”, this latter will be implanted under the skin in the upper chest.

The brain is painlessly stimulated by these electrodes by generating electrical impulses to adjust the chemical imbalances within the brain; and block or change the abnormal brain activity; to treat a certain symptoms & clinical signs of the Parkinson’s disease such as slow movement (bradykinesia), tremors, and the limbs’ stiffness.

The amount of the electrical impulses will be controlled by the neurostimulator.

My aunt had a knee replacement surgery on both her knees and we've seen an incredible progress eventhough it's only been 2 weeks. Doctor is amazing, hospitality is another level, nurses and all procedures are highly professional. As someone who has been to many big hospitals in Turkey, I must say this one is by far the best cause they're health-oriented as opposed to money oriented. Definitely recommend it to anyone especially for orthopedic surgery and physiotherapy.

Getting a visa, airport pickup, comfortable travel, pre-operative examination, surgery, post-operative care, thermal hotel, and countless other services were provided. Throughout this process, they never left our side, not even for the shortest moment. I am very grateful to the Prusa Medica team and Op. Dr. Kayhan Turan; they left a profound impression on me. It was a pleasure to get to know you and work with you. I highly recommend them; they truly leave no question marks in your mind. They cleared away all the doubts I had
