With this development, the hospital becomes the\u00a0<strong>first centre in Tricity and among a limited number of centres\u00a0in India<\/strong>\u00a0to offer this next-generation treatment.<\/p>\n<p>This milestone builds on the hospital\u2019s\u00a0<strong>established expertise in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery<\/strong>, with multiple successful procedures performed for patients across North India. Healing Hospital has emerged as a\u00a0<strong>trusted referral centre for neurology and neurosurgery<\/strong>, managing complex brain and spine conditions across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptive DBS represents a significant advancement over conventional DBS. While traditional systems deliver continuous stimulation, adaptive DBS uses\u00a0<strong>real-time brain signal monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0to automatically adjust stimulation levels\u2014offering a more precise and personalized approach to Parkinson\u2019s treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, the procedure involves\u00a0<strong>implanting a small device (similar to a pacemaker) that sends controlled electrical signals to specific areas of the brain<\/strong>, helping regulate abnormal activity and improve movement-related symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients with Parkinson\u2019s often experience fluctuations throughout the day. With adaptive DBS, we aim to improve stability and reduce these variations, leading to better day-to-day functioning,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Dr. J.P. Singhvi, Neurologist, Healing Hospital Chandigarh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeep Brain Stimulation has already transformed the management of advanced Parkinson\u2019s disease. Adaptive DBS further refines this by making therapy responsive to the patient\u2019s brain activity in real time,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Dr. Jaspreet Randhawa, Neurosurgeon, Healing Hospital Chandigarh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the development,\u00a0<strong>Mr. Sahibjit Singh Sandhu and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Mr.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Drishmeet Singh Buttar, Managing Partners, Healing Hospital Chandigarh<\/strong>, said:<br \/>\u201cThis advancement reflects our continued focus on bringing cutting-edge medical technologies to North India. Our goal is to ensure that patients in the region have\u00a0access to globally aligned, advanced treatment options without the need to travel far. Adaptive DBS is an important step in strengthening our neurosciences programme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a\u00a0<strong>well-established treatment<\/strong>, with meaningful improvement seen in approximately\u00a0<strong>70\u201380% of appropriately selected patients<\/strong>. Adaptive DBS builds on this by aiming to further improve\u00a0<strong>symptom consistency, reduce fluctuations, and enhance overall quality of life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Patients typically require a\u00a0<strong>hospital stay of 2\u20134 days<\/strong>\u00a0and are able to resume routine activities within\u00a0<strong>1\u20132 weeks<\/strong>, with further programming and optimization carried out over time.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptive DBS at Healing Hospital is enabled through\u00a0<strong>advanced, sensing-enabled neurostimulation technology developed by Medtronic<\/strong>, a global leader in medical devices. With this development, Healing Hospital joins a\u00a0<strong>select group of centres in India<\/strong>\u00a0offering Adaptive DBS, alongside leading institutions such as\u00a0Medanta\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0Medicity\u00a0and Apollo Hospitals Chennai.<\/p>\n<p>Parkinson\u2019s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, coordination, and quality of life. Patients with long-standing disease, medication-related complications, or motor fluctuations may benefit from advanced therapies such as DBS surgery.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of Adaptive DBS, Healing Hospital Chandigarh further strengthens its position as a\u00a0<strong>centre for advanced Parkinson\u2019s treatment and brain stimulation therapies in North India<\/strong>, bringing global-standard care closer to patients in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Healing Hospital Chandigarh is a\u00a0<strong>NABH-accredited and one of the largest private healthcare institutions in the region<\/strong>, known for its clinical excellence, rapid growth, and strong focus on advanced medical technologies. The hospital offers\u00a0<strong>25+ specialties<\/strong>\u00a0and caters to patients from across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital is particularly recognized for its\u00a0<strong>expertise in neurology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, and minimally invasive procedures<\/strong>, supported by modern infrastructure and an experienced clinical team. Driven by a vision to deliver\u00a0<strong>global-standard healthcare<\/strong>, Healing Hospital continues to integrate advanced technologies with patient-centric care to improve outcomes and accessibility.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.
