Deep Brain Stimulation Devices: A Brief Technical History and Review
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a broadly accepted therapeutic modality with tens of thousands of patients currently implanted—is the application of implantable electrical stimulation devices to treat neurological disorders. Approved indications include involuntary movement disorders; investigational applications include epilepsy, selected psychiatric disorders, and other conditions. DBS differs fundamentally from functional electrical stimulation and sensory prosthetics in that DBS therapies do not substitute for or replace injured tissues, organs, or body functions. DBS—targeted to particular brain nuclei or pathways that are specific for the disorder under treatment—influences brain function and behavioral output in ways that can relieve symptoms and improve the overall functioning of the patient. We will briefly review the history and present status of DBS from a technical and device‐oriented perspective, with an eye toward future advances.

Deep brain stimulation is especially effective for movement disorders including Parkinson's disease, dystonia and essential tremor.
“For example, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is particularly successful in treating movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease, dystonia and essential tremor [5, 24, 83].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
