Deep Brain Stimulation Management: Managing dystonia patients treated with deep brain stimulation

摘要: This chapter focuses on the second critical factor for success of deep brain stimulation (DBS), namely placement DBS lead. implantation is a team-based neurosurgical procedure, led by neurosurgeon who should be trained in functional, stereotactic neurosurgery. Intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) does not cause morbidity but improves bradykinesia before Once lead has been placed at target depth, intraoperative macro-stimulation using performed to test optimal placement. The goal assess efficacy and therapeutic window stimulation. A map made position nucleus choice, as this helps clinician ultimately performs programming system. Poor can result from lack use physiological mapping techniques.
