### A Patient's Experience with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
* Randall Brown
* Tuesday
* 15-may-18 to 15-may-18
* 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
* $5.00
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been used in recent decades to treat certain motion-disorder symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and some other brain-related conditions. Your instructor, himself a dystonia patient who has had successful DBS surgery, walks around now with wires extending deep into his brain and with brain-pacemaker controllers in his upper chest. He will share understanding as a layman of the why and how of DBS. He will also discuss his own experiences having the hardware installed, having his implanted controllers programmed to optimize their settings, and living with DBS for the past several years. This talk is for anyone interested in the amazing brain and for patients/caregivers contemplating DBS surgery.
