In a major advancement for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, Dr. Paresh Doshi, Director of Functional Neurosurgery at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre has published groundbreaking research that could help make Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery more accurate, personalised and safer for thousands of patients worldwide.
Deep Brain Stimulation has emerged as one of the most effective treatments for patients whose Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor and certain other movement disorders are no longer adequately controlled with medication.
The Jaslok study addresses this important gap.
Dr. Doshi is widely recognised as one of India's pioneers in functional neurosurgery and has been instrumental in advancing Deep Brain Stimulation in the country for more than two decades.
Mr. Jitendra Haryan, CEO, Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, said:"At Jaslok Hospital, we believe every research breakthrough must ultimately improve the lives of patients.
