A patient with Parkinson’s disease has successfully undergone The London Clinic’s 100th deep brain stimulation. This milestone is a first in the UK private hospital sector and reflects the hospital’s commitment to providing patients with exceptional, innovative medical care. 

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment which can help people with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.  Electrodes are planted deep inside the brain and a pulse generator implanted in the patient’s chest, delivers electrical signals – to control abnormal brain rhythms.
