The Safety of Remote DBS Programming System

March 22, 2018 updated by: Bomin Sun, Ruijin Hospital

A Pilot Study to Investigating Safety of A Remote and Wireless Deep Brain Stimulation Programming System for Parkinson's Disease

Remote programming has significant advantages over conventional programming methods on some issues. This research will test the safety of SceneRay remote and wireless DBS programming system.

Detailed Description

Programming is a crucial aspect of deep brain stimulation (DBS), directly influences the final success of DBS. Optimal programming helps patients achieve maximized control of clinical symptoms and higher life quality. However, there are a number of inadequacies in conventional programming methods. First, the programming probe must come into close contact with the implantable pulse generator (IPG) and test stimulator to complete programming. And during initial postoperative programming, only the parameters of one patient can be ascertained. In addition, the same frequency is typically used in the left and right brain for dual channel IPG. The patient also need to repeatedly travel between their home and the hospital, leading to increased time and expense. Therefore, the investigators developed the SceneRay wireless and remote DBS system to address the outline issues. This system has significant advantages over conventional programming methods on all the issues above. This research will test the safety of this remote and wireless DBS programming system.
