Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) delivers constant low amplitude electrical stimulation to small specific targets within the brain, through thin implanted electrodes connected to an implantable pulse generator (pacemaker). It is an accepted therapy for:

• Movement disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, etc.)
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

DBS is being researched to treat neural deficits such as:

• Depression
• Epilepsy
• Alzheimer’s
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Memory loss
• Others...
