Mr. Chen, a gentle and reserved man from Malaysia, was known for his friendly and kind demeanor. However, his life took a turn after a brain tumor surgery over a decade ago. Despite the successful removal of the tumor, he began experiencing unusual twitching movements in recent years. These spasms not only caused him to frequently lose balance but also deeply affected his psychological well-being.
Mr. Chen, who never expected to face ongoing medical challenges, believed he had overcome all difficulties after his previous surgery. However, reality proved otherwise. Despite seeking medical treatment and undergoing multiple tests in Malaysia, Mr. Chen was told there were no abnormalities. Yet, the involuntary twitching movements persisted, limiting his mobility and undermining his confidence and mental health.
Upon a friend’s recommendation, Mr. Chen decided to seek professional guidance and treatment at Tungs’ Hospital in Taiwan. There, the medical team conducted a comprehensive evaluation and examination, revealing that his symptoms were caused by neural discharges resulting from epilepsy. The healthcare professionals at Tungs’ Hospital meticulously analyzed and diagnosed Mr. Chen’s condition, devising a personalized treatment plan for him.
In light of Mr. Chen’s symptoms, the physicians recommended undergoing a procedure to implant a responsive neurostimulator. This surgery, a common neurosurgical procedure used to treat neurological disorders like epilepsy, involves implanting an electronic device into the brain or other relevant areas to regulate and control abnormal neural activity. The procedure, performed by a specialized neurosurgical team, ensures the surgery’s safety and effectiveness. Although the surgery carries certain risks and potential complications, for many patients like Mr. Chen, it represents an effective treatment method for improving their quality of life and managing their symptoms.
Mr. Chen’s visit to Tungs’ Hospital left a lasting impression on him. He will always be grateful for the hope and answers provided by the hospital. Despite the challenges of his treatment journey, Mr. Chen knows that with the support of a professional medical team, he can overcome any obstacle.
