Adaptive deep brain stimulation for motor disorders

Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the most effective treatment methods for movement disorders, but there are still limitations in efficacy and adverse reactions, which may be due to the existing stimulation mode is too fixed to adjust according to the individual situation of patients. Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) based on the level of brain electrophysiological activity can adjust the stimulation mode with the change of clinical symptoms, which is more effective. The preliminary study of aDBS confirms its effectiveness. This article describes the electrophysiological signals involved in aDBS and its application progress in movement disorders.
