Brain Circuit Modulation
Functional neurosurgery enables intervention on specific brain circuits to correct movement disorders, control epileptic seizures, and relieve severe pain. It is indicated when conventional medical treatments fail to achieve adequate symptom control.
Through targeted radiosurgery and selective surgical techniques, we treat essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, refractory epilepsy, and oncologic and functional pain. These therapies act directly on the source of the problem, significantly improving the patient's quality of life.
Functional Neurosurgery
Movement disorders
Include essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. When medication is not enough, radiosurgery enables specific brain circuits to be treated without invasive surgery.
Epilepsy
Recurrent seizures that do not respond to medical treatment. In selected cases, surgery or radiosurgery enables the responsible focus to be treated and seizures to be reduced.
Oncologic and functional pain
Severe and persistent pain that does not improve with medication. It can be treated through radiosurgery directed at specific brain centers, reducing suffering and improving quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is functional neurosurgery considered for Parkinson's or tremor?
When medication does not adequately control the symptoms of essential tremor or Parkinson's disease, radiosurgery enables specific brain circuits to be treated without invasive surgery, improving the patient's motor control.
Can epilepsy be treated with surgery or radiosurgery?
Yes. In selected cases of epilepsy that do not respond to medical treatment, surgery or radiosurgery enables the focus responsible for seizures to be treated and reduces their frequency or eliminates them.
How is severe oncologic and functional pain treated?
Severe and persistent pain that does not improve with medication can be treated through radiosurgery directed at specific brain centers. This intervention reduces patient suffering and significantly improves quality of life.
