Manipal Hospital has announced the launch of its Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Clinic, a first-of-its-kind, disease-specific initiative in India designed to deliver precision-led care for patients with complex neurological and movement disorders in the presence of leading neurologists and neurosurgeons from the hospital group.
The DBS Clinic will function from the Mukundapur unit, with dedicated DBS services scheduled every Monday and a Complex Pain Clinic on Saturdays. Movement Disorder Clinics will be operational on all days to ensure uninterrupted access to specialised neurological care. The programme follows a multidisciplinary care model that brings together neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain specialists, neuro-rehabilitation experts, emergency physicians and trained nursing teams to deliver coordinated and comprehensive care. Complementing this approach, the Neuro-Rehabilitation Clinic will provide structured rehabilitation consultations, supported by dedicated consultation spaces and streamlined service. Together, this integrated model supports patients across the entire continuum of care, from diagnosis and advanced intervention to rehabilitation and long-term follow-up for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremors, epilepsy and complex pain syndromes.
Speaking on the launch, Dr. Milind Deogaonkar, Director and Senior Consultant, Neurosurgery, said, “Deep Brain Stimulation represents a transformative shift in the management of complex neurological disorders. Manipal Hospital Mukundapur integrates neurology, neurosurgery, pain management and neuro-rehabilitation within a single, coordinated framework, with the objective of restoring function, independence and quality of life for patients. This comprehensive and collaborative model sets a new benchmark for neuromodulation and neuro-restorative care in India.”
As part of the launch, Manipal Hospitals will roll out an internal awareness and academic engagement programme across its Kolkata units. These internal sessions, led by Dr. Milind, will introduce the Neuro-restoration and Neuromodulation DBS Clinic to neurosurgeons, neurologists, emergency department doctors and residents. The DBS Clinic will also explore tele-connect mechanisms with other Manipal Hospitals units, including centres outside Kolkata, to extend expert neurological consultations and continuity of care beyond the Mukundapur campus.
