Abstract
The Comprehensive Care Centre for Movement Disorders of SCTIMST, the first of its kind in India, has completed 25 years in the field of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, with the first patient getting operated on 10th June, 1999. This patient also happened to be the first patient undergoing DBS in the country. In this session, the lessons learned over this 25-year journey, the technological advances which have happened, their impact on clinical practices and cost of therapy, and how the cost factor is impacting the developing world’s perspective of DBS, will be discussed, based on our data. The recently published data on the survival outcomes following DBS, the largest one from any single centre from the developing world, will also be presented.
