Manipal, 8th December 2022: A 62-year-old lady from Davangere district was recently treated for Parkinson’s disease with the latest Deep Brain stimulation device, a first in costal Karnataka. She was suffering from the debilitating neurological condition for the last 12 years and had slowly developed resistance to the medications.

The implanted device equipped with the latest BrainsenseTM technology records live brain signals and enables the neurologist to use a data driven approach to tailor stimulation based on side effects and requirement.
