A 61-year-old man, who was suffering from Parkinson s disease for the past few years, got relief through an implant at Apollo Speciality Hospitals here.
Speaking to reporters, the doctors said he was given Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), sort of ‘pacemaker’ for the brain, similar to the pacemaker of the heart.
