How much does DBS or MRgFUS treatment cost at GoBroad in China?
Costs depend on the procedure and device chosen. Estimated figures from GoBroad are below.
| Treatment | Device | Estimated Cost (RMB) | Stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| DBS | Medtronic | 595,000 | 7 to 8 days |
| DBS | PINS | 456,000 | 7 to 8 days |
| MRgFUS | N/A | 174,300 | 3 to 4 days |
Final costs vary based on pre-operative needs and individual circumstances. A personalised written cost estimate is provided before you commit to travelling.
How much does SMA treatment (Spinraza) cost in China compared to other countries?
Nusinersen Sodium (Spinraza) for Spinal Muscular Atrophy costs USD 9,300 per injection at GoBroad in China, compared to around USD 100,000 in the USA and similar pricing across Southeast Asia.
This is possible because the medicine is partially covered under China's national social insurance, and international patients access the same price. SMA affects 8.5 to 10.3 per 100,000 live births and is especially prevalent in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Bangladesh. GoBroad's international patient team coordinates the full process: examination, injection, and hospital accommodation.
What is the difference between DBS and MRgFUS for Parkinson's or essential tremor?
DBS and MRgFUS are both effective for Parkinson's and essential tremor, but one involves a small surgical implant and the other requires nothing invasive at all.
| DBS | MRgFUS | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Small electrodes implanted in the brain | Focused sound waves directed through the skull |
| Invasive? | Minimally invasive | Zero incision, no surgery |
| Tremor improvement | 60% to 70% | 60% to 88% |
| Adjustable after surgery? | Yes, remotely | No |
| Long-term efficacy | 10+ years | Ongoing monitoring |
| Hospital stay | 7 to 8 days | 3 to 4 days |
| Best for | Parkinson's, dystonia, epilepsy, tremor | Essential tremor, tremor-dominant Parkinson's |
GoBroad's specialists review your imaging and confirm which is right for you before you travel to Beijing.
