- 67-year-old Jyoti suffered from severe tremors in her arms and legs due to Parkinson's Disease.
- Neurosurgeons at Jain Hospital, Bangalore performed a wake thalamotomy to cure the extreme symptomatic neurological disease.
- According to Dr. Sharon Srinivasan a key pathway was required to be destroyed in her brain so as to stop the involuntary tremors.
- Dr. Srinivasan also added that one needs to be precise during circuit burning and that too which is located 8 - 9 cm deep inside the brain as any mistake can could cause a major brain stroke.
- As the surgeons performed a specific cut, the tremors stopped.
- Now, Jyoti does not experience shaking in her arms or legs anymore.
