Grandmother-of-four Jyoti, 67, whose family thought her violent shakes were caused by an invading evil spirit, suffered from severe convulsions in her arms and legs for seven years.
Her symptoms were so extreme she was barely able to sleep.
On February 13, brain surgeons at Jain Hospital, in Bengaluru, India, cut into Jyoti's brain while she was fully awake, destroying a pathway that caused the involuntary movements.
