Abstract
Although first introduced about 25 years ago deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology is still evolving at a high rate and most innovations have been developed as a result of pressure from increasing commercial competition. Technical innovations from recent years include rechargeable generators and new stimulation paradigms. Current and upcoming developments mainly aim at prediction of stimulation and unwanted side effects and hence improvement in safety and treatment efficacy. Some of the future keynote DBS technologies are summarized in this survey.Mesh:
