🧠 Global Gaps in DBS Patient Selection – And How We Make It Easier for You

When it comes to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), the right patient selection is key to success. But across the world, this “selection” is far from consistent. From strict age cut-offs to regional biases in access and evaluation, the chances of getting timely DBS treatment can vary dramatically depending on where you live.

At We Care 4 'all', we’re here to bridge those gaps—so your loved ones don’t get left behind.

🌍 Why Patient Selection Varies Globally

Even though DBS has transformed lives for those with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders, many patients are still stuck waiting—or worse, turned away—not because they aren’t suitable, but because systems and resources vary widely.

Let’s break down the key challenges:

1. Inconsistent Selection Criteria

Some hospitals follow very rigid rules around age, cognitive function, and disease duration. Others are more flexible—but patients may not know where to go or how to apply.

2. Multidisciplinary Evaluations Aren’t the Norm

In Europe and Asia, nearly 70% of centers use multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) for DBS decisions. In the Americas, it’s only about 40%. Yet MDTs are proven to offer more thorough and personalized assessments.

3. Socioeconomic & Geographic Inequities

Access to DBS in many parts of Asia, Africa, and even underserved regions in developed countries is still a privilege—often only available to those with private insurance or the means to travel.

4. Cognitive & Mood Assessments Overlooked

Many hospitals still skip psychological evaluations during the selection process, even though these factors greatly impact the success of DBS.

5. Fear & Delay in Seeking Care

In several regions, cultural barriers and fear of brain surgery prevent patients from even being referred—despite DBS being safer and more effective than ever.
