Furthermore, DBS also helps in improving bladder control, restoring hand grasp, and improving walking in patients. Moreover, in cases of neurological injuries that lead to paralysis or disability, DBS can be used to restore movement, reduce tremor and dyskinesia, and improve the quality of life.

Although PD cannot be cured completely with medicines, DBS is preferred as it can be used to improve motor symptoms. For instance, PD is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system resulting in muscle stiffness and slow movement.

With more than 450 million people worldwide affected by neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer disease, brain injuries, epilepsy, Parkinsonâs disease (PD), strokes, peripheral neuropathy, and paralysis, the market for DBS has a positive outlook in the coming years. Increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is one of the critical factors driving the growth of this market globally. DBS directly changes brain activity in a controlled manner, its effects are reversible (unlike those of lesioning techniques), and it is one of only a few neurosurgical methods that allow blinded studies. Despite the long history of DBS, its underlying principles and mechanisms are still not clear.

DBS in select brain regions has provided therapeutic benefits for otherwise-treatment-resistant disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, chronic pain, major depression and obsessiveâcompulsive disorder (OCD). Furthermore, the report also highlights production and consumption scenarios, supply-demand status, and the latest opportunities and challenges for the forecast period.ĭeep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device called a neurostimulator (sometimes referred to as a 'brain pacemaker'), which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to specific targets in the brain (brain nuclei) for the treatment of movement and neuropsychiatric disorders. The report also covers emerging trends and recent developments in the market, including consumption data by country and forecasted data up to 2027.
