ABSTRACT

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure approved for the treatment of select patients with movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors, and dystonia. DBS uses electricity to neuromodulate abnormal brain circuits found on these disorders to improve patient’s symptomatology. In almost 30 years, DBS has shown to be an effective therapy, however, it is not free of side effects. New technological advances have been aimed to improve clinical benefits and at the same time, minimize side effects. In this review, we discuss recent technological innovations in DBS along with the future direction of the field. We describe new DBS systems labeled “smart” devices, promising electrode designs, and newly defined methods to deliver electrical stimulation to the brain.
