Deep Brain Stimulation For Parkinson's Disease

A New Lease on Life

Losing control of your movements due to Parkinson’s can leave you feeling like you're missing out on important parts of your relationships, or worse — like you’re losing part of yourself. By managing some of the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s, deep brain stimulation (DBS) may help you regain control again.

DBS uses a small pacemaker-like device, placed under the skin of the chest, to send electrical signals through extensions and very thin wires (leads) to an area in the brain that controls movement. To give you relief, these signals block some of the brain messages that cause the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s. Only our DBS neurostimulator with BrainSense™ technology* can also capture and store brain signal data directly from your implanted SenSight™ directional leads. Using this data, your physician may adjust your settings — personalizing the therapy to ensure the best possible outcome.*

DBS may help control the movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease: tremor, slowed movement, and stiffness. DBS therapy is not for everyone. Results may vary. Risks may include: surgical complications, infection, failure to deliver therapy as needed and/or worsening of some symptoms. See Important Safety Information.
