Living with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia can be life-altering — simple tasks like eating, writing, or walking become daily challenges. But for patients in Northeast India, there’s now real hope thanks to advancements in a groundbreaking surgical technique: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
And it’s not just available in metro cities anymore. Dr. Naba J. Borah, a leading neurosurgeon at Health City Hospital, Guwahati, is bringing the power of DBS closer to home through his specialized service in Deep Brain Stimulation in Guwahati.
What is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?
DBS is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure that uses a medical device (like a pacemaker for the brain) to deliver electrical impulses to specific areas responsible for abnormal movement. These impulses help regulate motor control, reducing tremors, rigidity, and stiffness — without damaging brain tissue.
Who Can Benefit from DBS?
- Parkinson’s Disease (especially patients with medication fluctuations)
- Essential Tremor
- Dystonia
- Selected cases of Tourette Syndrome or Epilepsy
If medications no longer offer relief or cause side effects, DBS could be life-changing.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Northeast India
Until recently, patients from Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and neighboring states had to travel to Delhi, Bangalore, or Kolkata for DBS — often at great emotional and financial cost.
Today, Dr. Naba J. Borah offers this advanced care right here in Guwahati, combining world-class technology with compassionate care.
Dr. Naba J. Borah’s Expertise in DBS
Trained in advanced neurosurgical techniques, Dr. Borah has successfully performed DBS for patients suffering from movement disorders. His approach is:
- Patient-centric: evaluating suitability thoroughly
- Minimally invasive: using state-of-the-art systems
- Follow-up focused: ensuring long-term outcomes
What to Expect from the Procedure
- Evaluation – Confirming that DBS is right for you
- Imaging & Mapping – Pinpointing exact brain targets
- Surgery – Implanting electrodes and the pulse generator
- Programming & Tuning – Adjusting settings post-op
- Rehabilitation & Support – Ongoing care is key
Real Hope, Real Results
Many patients report a dramatic reduction in tremors and an improved quality of life within weeks of activation. For those who had lost hope, DBS often restores independence and dignity.
