As the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide, Parkinson’s Disease (PD) presents immense challenges to patients, families, and healthcare systems, especially in ageing societies. For patients with advanced PD who experience severe motor response complications (MRC), standard medications often fall short, making innovative treatments essential. Join us to explore Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)—a cutting-edge procedure recognized as the “standard-of-care” for MRC in PD. With advances in battery life and precision, DBS offers new hope for managing PD symptoms. As a pioneering DBS center in Southeast Asia, the University of Malaya has successfully treated over 200 PD patients, establishing a benchmark for PD care in Malaysia. This session covers DBS indications, procedural insights, post-operative care, and challenges in accessibility. Discover the future of DBS and its potential to transform PD treatment.
