On Wednesday 25th June, we celebrated the 5 Year Anniversary of the National Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Service, which is housed in the Dublin Neurological Institute.
To commemorate this milestone, the DBS team hosted an information stand on Whitty Street, highlighting the impact of this advanced therapy on patient care.
The Deep Brain Stimulation service provides specialised treatment for patients with movement disorders, primarily Parkinson’s disease. It involves the surgical implantation of electrodes into the brain to deliver controlled electrical stimulation, which helps manage motor symptoms and improves quality of life.
Over the past five years, the service has established itself as a central component of neurosurgical care in Ireland, reflecting the commitment to delivering national-level, specialist treatments.
