The best treatment for Parkinson's in India is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure wherein electrodes are implanted in the brain to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. DBS has shown promising results, with some studies reporting up to 80% reduction in tremors and 50-60-70% improvement on motor scores after surgery.
In addition, patients who receive deep brain stimulation see improvements or complete resolution of their depression, excessive daytime sleepiness and cognitive impairments. The exact amount of benefit depends on how well a patient does post-operatively and other lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise etc.
For those looking for treatments around India, there are numerous hospitals providing high quality services like AIIMS Delhi; CMC Vellore; Bombay Hospital Mumbai ; SRM Institute Chennai etc.. In addition to this, there are also several specialized neurological centres located across India that provide advanced treatments for Parkinson’s Disease.
