Device profile of the percept PC deep brain stimulation system for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders
Joohi Jimenez‐Shahed
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: : Percept™ PC offers unique sensing and diary functions as a means to refine therapeutic stimulation, track symptoms and correlate them to neurophysiologic characteristics. Additional features enhance the patient experience with DBS, including 3 T magnetic resonance imaging compatibility, wireless telemetry, a smaller and thinner battery profile, and increased battery longevity. Future work will be needed to illustrate the clinical utility and added value of using sensing to optimize DBS therapy. Patients implanted with Percept™ PC will have ready access to future technology developments.
