Marengo Asia Hospitals has strengthened its neurosciences offering in Gurugram with the launch of a dedicated Centre for Functional Neurosurgery alongside a movement-based dance therapy programme for Parkinson’s disease patients, reinforcing its strategy around early diagnosis, advanced intervention and long-term rehabilitation. 

Parkinson’s disease, the world’s second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affects nearly 10 million people globally and progressively impairs movement, balance and muscle control. 

With medication often losing effectiveness in advanced stages, the hospital said the new centre will improve access to specialised interventions such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

According to Dr. Praveen Gupta, DBS has triggered a paradigm shift in the management of advanced Parkinson’s disease by significantly improving motor outcomes, reducing medication dependence and restoring independence in carefully selected patients. Clinical evidence suggests 70–75% of suitable patients show meaningful motor improvement after DBS, making it one of the most established advanced therapies in movement disorders. 

Dr Himanshu Champaneri said modern DBS procedures are now highly precise and less invasive than commonly perceived, relying on extensive MRI-based planning before implanting thin electrodes into targeted brain regions to regulate abnormal neural activity.

Beyond surgical care, the hospital has also introduced a structured Movement-Based Dance Therapy Programmetailored for Parkinson’s patients.

The model integrates guided rhythmic exercises, gait correction, posture training, balance work and flexibility enhancement, aimed at improving mobility while stimulating neural pathways and supporting neuroplasticity.
