Dear colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 5th Regional DBS meeting
“Deep brain stimulation: present and future perspectives“, which will be held in Dubrovnik (Croatia) -Inter University Centre Dubrovnik, from May 14-17, 2026.
I am happy and proud to inform you that this course has received again financial support and endorsement from the Movement Disorders Society, which is a great achievement.
Deep brain stimulation has developed during the past 38 years as a remarkable treatment option for several brain disorders. DBS has also evolved significantly during the past decade at University Hospital Dubrava Zagreb (Croatia) as the Referral Centre of the Croatian Ministry of Health for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and in UHC Rijeka on Clinical Neurology Department as the Referral Centre of the Croatian Ministry of Health for advance and invasive methods in treatment of Movement Disorders especially deep brain stimulations. This meeting will provide state-of-the-art coverage of current DBS practice and future directions in this region of Europe and in the world.
We hope this meeting will be of interest and we look forward to welcoming you in Dubrovnik.
