Already chosen your movement-disorder specialist or neurosurgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed deep brain stimulation (dbs)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.

Understand the procedure
What is deep brain stimulation (dbs)?
Deep brain stimulation uses implanted electrodes connected to a pulse generator to influence activity in selected brain areas. It may help particular symptoms of conditions such as Parkinson disease, tremor or dystonia in suitable patients. It is not a cure for the underlying condition.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Which of my symptoms are likely to improve, and which may not?
- What assessment supports my suitability for DBS?
- How do the target and device choices affect benefits and possible side effects?
- Where will programming, medicine adjustment and future battery care take place?

Records to organise
We organise the movement-disorder diagnosis and specialist recommendation alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the movement-disorder specialist or neurosurgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Movement-disorder diagnosis and specialist recommendation
- Medicine history and any recorded levodopa-response assessment
- Brain imaging and neuropsychological assessment already completed
- Symptom diary, functional concerns and proposed device details
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
