Jim has had essential tremor since he was 16. After years of trying different therapies and medications, he came to Penn Medicine neurosurgeon Iahn Cajigas, MD, PhD, to discuss neurosurgical options. After deciding on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Jim underwent the procedure at Pennsylvania Hospital.
DBS uses electrical stimulation in the brain to treat movement disorders including dystonia, Parkinson’s Disease, and essential tremor or other neurological conditions such as epilepsy.
As one of the largest treatment programs for DBS in the United States, more than 1,200 DBS procedures have been performed at Penn Medicine. Through robust research and high-volume expertise, Penn Medicine continues to expand the understanding and use of DBS therapy.
