What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep brain stimulation implants electrodes in a selected brain target and connects them to a pulse generator so Parkinson disease, tremor or dystonia can be modulated after a named functional-neurosurgery review. Electrodes are placed with stereotactic guidance, sometimes with microelectrode recording or asleep imaging confirmation. Leads are tunnelled to a chest or abdominal pulse generator. Programming starts after swelling settles.
