Director of the Center for Neuromodulation Dr. Rezai is a world-renowned expert who trained with French researchers who developed DBS in the late 1980s while looking for a way to mitigate the tremors caused by Parkinson’s disease. He has performed more than 1,600 deep brain stimulation (DBS) operations.
According to Dr. Rezai, “Our team is among the most experienced in the country with neuromodulation.” Ohio State physicians and researchers are committed to research and finding other clinical applications for DBS such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, autism and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We are invested in your health care and the health care of future generations.
