BrainSense DBS from Medtronic

There are many medication options available to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson’s, but when medications aren’t as effective as they once were and symptoms make everyday life a challenge, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may help. We are excited to introduce you to the first -of-its-kind, SenSight™ Directional Lead System which combines the benefit of directionality with the power of sensing. The Medtronic DBS system is built with NASA proprietary materials to enhance the ability to detect LFPs (local field potentials) which are one million times smaller than DBS pulses and is part of the most advanced DBS platform. SenSight™ offers a personalized approach to DBS treatments for Parkinson’s, essential tremor, and dystonia. Join us for a livestream program with renowned neurosurgeon Francisco Ponce, MD as we discuss the newest tracking and advance control of your Parkinson’s symptoms through technology.
