FDA has approved a Medtronic PMA for the Percept PC Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system for treating patients with neurologic disorders associated with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy or obsessive-compulsive disorder. DBS is an individualized therapy delivered from a small pacemaker-like device, placed under the skin of the chest or abdomen, that sends electrical signals through leads to a targeted area in the brain related to the symptoms of a neurological disorder. The device allows physicians to track patient brain signals and correlate these with patient-recorded actions or experiences, such as symptoms, side-effects, or medication intake, the company says.
