Brain
Stimulators
A brain
stimulator uses pacemaker technology to control disabling symptoms of
two common neurological movement disorders, Parkinson's disease and Essential
Tremor. As many as 2.5 million Americans may suffer from these conditions.
There is no known cure. For persons with severe forms of these problems,
brain stimulation may represent a preferred option for symptom management.
A
brain pacemaker works by stimulating deep brain structures that influence
motor control, blocking abnormal brain signals that cause impairment.
These devices are about the size of a cardiac pacemaker and are surgically
implanted near the collarbone. Brain stimulators deliver controlled electrical
pulses to the brain through electrodes attached to a thin wire.
