- Abstract
To maintain the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on dystonic symptoms, slight incremental increase in voltage may be necessary over years after a steady state has been reached following the initial programming of optimal settings. So far however, no data are available regarding the adjustment of voltage after implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement to achieve sustained optimal control of dystonia with the least side effects.
