Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a cutting-edge neurosurgery procedure that uses implanted electrodes to deliver electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain. These impulses assist in regulating abnormal brain activity and ameliorating symptoms of neurological and psychiatric illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
India has emerged as a leading destination for DBS surgery, offering highly experienced neurosurgeons, cutting-edge technology, and affordable pricing compared to many Western countries.
✅ Treatment for Parkinson’s, dystonia, essential tremor, and OCD
✅ FDA-approved, minimally invasive brain surgery
✅ Performed at world-class hospitals with robotic guidance & neuronavigation
✅ Cost-effective packages with quality care
✅ Short waiting periods and personalized care
Pre-operative Evaluation: Neurological exams, brain imaging (MRI/CT), and psychological assessments.
Electrode Placement: A neurosurgeon places thin electrodes into targeted brain areas through small holes in the skull.
Neurostimulator Implantation: A pulse generator (battery pack) is implanted under the skin of the chest or abdomen and connected to the brain electrodes.
Programming & Activation: After healing, the device is activated and fine-tuned to deliver optimal electrical stimulation.
Total hospital stay: ~5 days
Total stay in India: ~30 days
Improved motor function and reduced tremors
Reduced medication dependency
Better quality of life and daily functioning
Reversible and adjustable treatment option
Safe and effective for long-term symptom management
There are different types of Deep Brain Stimulation based on the patient’s neurological disorder and treatment goal:
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery is recommended for patients with:
Have Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, or severe OCD
Have not responded adequately to medications or other therapies
Experience symptoms that severely impact quality of life
Are in good overall health to undergo surgery
Are willing to follow through with post-operative care and device programming
We believe that great care starts with trust. That’s why we ensure complete transparency in our treatment pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees, just honest and clear costs for the care you deserve.
| Types of Cost of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in India
|
Treatment Cost In USD |
|
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) with Non-Rechargeable Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) This surgical treatment involves implanting a non-rechargeable neurostimulator device that delivers electrical impulses to targeted brain areas. The IPG has a limited battery lifespan (typically 3-5 years) requiring replacement surgery once depleted. |
20000-23000 |
|
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) with Rechargeable Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) This advanced neuromodulation system utilizes a rechargeable neurostimulator that delivers continuous electrical therapy to targeted brain regions. The device is periodically charged externally, significantly extending the functional lifespan compared to non-rechargeable systems. |
25000-28000 |
Note: Final cost depends on implant brand, hospital, and patient’s condition.
