Functional Neurosurgery for Movement Disorders and Chronic Pain

Functional neurosurgery treats neurological conditions caused by abnormal brain and spinal circuit activity, including Parkinson disease, tremors, dystonia, spasticity, epilepsy, and chronic neuropathic pain. Procedures such as deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, and baclofen pump implantation are used when medical therapy is insufficient. By precisely targeting dysfunctional neural pathways, functional neurosurgery improves motor control, reduces disabling pain, and enhances quality of life in patients with refractory neurological disorders.
