คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Can I get DBS programming adjusted in my home country after surgery in China?
Yes. DBS devices (Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott) are globally compatible. We provide programming parameters and support remote coordination with your local neurologist. Some centers offer tele-programming.
What is the battery life of DBS devices?
Non-rechargeable batteries typically last 3-5 years depending on settings. Rechargeable systems last 15+ years. Battery replacement is a simpler procedure (1-2 hours) that can often be done locally.
How soon will I see improvement after DBS?
Tremor often improves immediately during surgery. Parkinson's motor symptoms typically improve within days to weeks of programming. Optimal programming may take 3-6 months.
Does DBS cure Parkinson's disease?
No, DBS is not a cure. It effectively manages motor symptoms and reduces medication needs, but the disease continues to progress. Regular follow-up is essential.
