India has one of the highest rates of Parkinson’s disease worldwide, with many patients beginning to experience movement symptoms during their prime working years. However, few are aware of the potential benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Hundreds of patients with severe neurological conditions are benefiting from this state-of-the-art neurostimulation technique provided by Dr. Anirban Deep Banerjee at Medanta Gurugram.

One such patient is Mr. Kajal Baran Majumdar of Kolkata, who was on the verge of being crippled but was able to resume his independent life. One of India’s top super-specialty hospitals, Medanta, was named the Best Private Hospital in India by Newsweek. It is a well-known location for DBS Therapy, providing comprehensive care that blends state-of-the-art technology with individualized attention.

Dr. Anirban Deep Banerjee, Director-Neurosurgery at the Institute of Neurosciences, Medanta Gurugram, said, “With the global burden of sickness and disability increasing significantly over the past few decades, neurological illnesses are currently one of the main causes of disability worldwide. They are responsible for almost 10% of all diseases in India. When medications and other traditional therapies are no longer able to control symptoms, we at Medanta are dedicated to expanding access to cutting-edge interventions like Deep Brain Stimulation and assisting patients in regaining their quality of life. Brain pacemaker surgery, also known as DBS, is a life-changing treatment in which electrodes are inserted into particular brain regions that are impacted to control aberrant signals, restore motor function, and significantly improve quality of life. It has been shown to alleviate advanced symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dystonia, adult-onset epilepsy, essential tremor, and Parkinson’s disease”.

Mr. Ashok Kumar Sen overcame gradually deteriorating symptoms of adult-onset cervical dystonia, which had left his neck severely and nearly permanently twisted at a 90-degree angle to the left for ten years, with the help of deep brain stimulation at Medanta Gurugram. His head position has nearly returned to normal following surgery, and the pain has completely gone away. Following regular brain signal tuning by Dr. Anirban Deep Banerjee at Medanta’s weekly neurosurgery outpatient department in Kolkata, Mr. Sen is no longer on medication and is living a healthier life.

Medanta has started holding monthly outpatient departments (OPDs) in Kolkata to provide patients with convenient access to its highly regarded super-specialist physicians and to facilitate coordinated care between the city and its flagship DBS center in Medanta, Gurugram. This is in keeping with its mission to make world-class, high-quality care accessible. In addition, the hospital provides several cutting-edge patient-centered services in Kolkata, such as integration into a super-specialty healthcare ecosystem and thorough pre-DBS examination.

Medanta multi-super specialty OPD is now available in Kolkata at RB Diagnostic Lake Town and Eastern Diagnostics Alipore.
