A new implantable device regulated by a person's brain activity could provide ‘round-the-clock’ personalized care for those suffering from the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

The implanted neurostimulator senses brain activity 24 hours a day. “Cardiac pacemakers have been way ahead of us — this deep brain stimulator for the brain is basically a pacemaker for the ...

or "brain pacemaker," developed by Medtronic Inc., on Friday in a ceremony to hail what they say is the beginning of a new paradigm in long-standing efforts to control sufferers' debilitating tremors.

The device, called a deep brain stimulation implant, is similar to a pacemaker, but for the brain. It involves the placement of a pulse generator that sends electrical signals to the parts of the ...

creating a “brain pacemaker.” DBS helps to improve movement symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as tremor and dyskinesia. “Although standard of care treatments like conventional DBS ...

There is still no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new deep brain stimulator that could benefit patients with the motor condition.

The electrodes receive impulses from a battery-powered stimulator—a pacemaker for the brain—implanted under the skin of his chest. “I probably would not be speaking clearly … I wouldn’t ...

New pacing systems have recently been specifically designed by the major companies for safe use in the MRI environment (EnRhythm, Advisa, and Revo MRI SureScan pacemakers and CapSureFix MRI leads ...
