Abstract

  In the field of functional neurosurgery, intervention using implantable devices has contributed greatly to the development of clinical applications. Electrodes for deep brain stimulation (DBS), pulse generators producing stimulus currents, and extension leads connecting them are applied as implantable devices. In addition to them, percutaneous programming devices are used to identify the optimal stimulation parameters. Rechargeable pulse generators and charging devices have already been launched. Technological improvement and evolution of these devices has contributed to better QOL for patients with DBS. They will improve DBS therapy and further develop functional neurosurgery in the future.
