The DBS system may interact with other medical devices and other sources of electromagnetic interference which may result in serious patient injury or death, system damage or changes to the neurostimulator or to stimulation. A prescription is required. Not everyone who receives DBS T...
If ongoing studies of a deep brain stimulator and of a cranially implanted responsive neurostimulator demonstrate effectiveness, then neurostimulation may become available as adjunctive therapy for medically intractable epilepsy. 展开 关键词: Keywords brain stimulation device epilepsy therapy ...

Ths sensing-enabled IPG allows the physician to personalize treatment for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, as well as epilepsy. According to the press release: “Percept™ RC is the smallest and thinnest dual channel neurostimulator ...
It consists of a surgically implanted battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (similar to a cardiac pacemaker), which sends electrical stimulation to the specific area desired, blocking abnormal nerve signals.1 The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved deep brain stimulation for the ...
Doctors treating the patient, a 22-year-old woman with epilepsy, found that when they stimulated a brain region called the left temporoparietal junction, the patient sensed the presence of a sinister figure behind her who copied her actions. They suspect that the effect is due to the mind ...
