Several of these challenging cases have been presented at state and national scientific conferences. As an integral member of the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Magnetic Resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRGFUS) program, Dr.Jayasree evaluates patients with Parkinson’s disease and tremor syndromes for DBS vs MRGFUS and is actively involved in postoperative programming and long-term management in collaboration with the neurosurgical team.
