neurostimulator

After 2-4 weeks, there is a follow-up to remove sutures, turn on the neurostimulator and program it.

Special circuits inside the neurostimulator protect it from extreme electrical stress ).

The programmer is then used to program the detection and stimulation settings in the neurostimulator.

Then the neurostimulator is placed in the skull.

The neurostimulator is a device that is implanted within the skull by a study physician.

Patients use a wand to transfer information from the neurostimulator to the RM.

In this procedure, a neurostimulator is used to deliver electrical impulses to the occipital nerves.

The neurostimulator can be calibrated by a neurologist, nurse or trained technician to the individual patient's needs.

Silicon plaster, neurostimulator, there had to be something he could use- "Major," Ensign Parks said.

Typically, one or more electrodes are implanted in the brain, with subcutaneous leads to a neurostimulator, which may also be implanted.

The physician-operated programmer wirelessly communicates with the implanted RNS neurostimulator.

The lead(s) are then tunneled to a neurostimulator device which is usually implanted the buttock, chest, low abdomen, beneath the shoulder blade or below the clavicle.

In April 2002, Lewis had a Medtronic "Synergy" neurostimulator implanted in his back, which has helped reduce the discomfort.

The IPG is a battery-powered neurostimulator encased in a titanium housing, which sends electrical pulses to the brain to interfere with neural activity at the target site.

The RNS System utilizes a neurostimulator implanted in the skull with one or two leads implanted in the brain at the focal points of the seizures.

The study physician has a programmer device while the patient has a Remote Monitor (RM) to provide information from his or her neurostimulator to the study physician.

In medical technology a neurostimulator, also called an implanted pulse generator (IPG) is a battery powered device designed to deliver electrical stimulation to the brain, central and peripheral nervous system.

Responsive neurostimulator system (US manufacturer Neuropace) consists of a computerized electrical device implanted in the skull, with electrodes implanted in presumed epileptic foci within the brain.

If they had been able to get a respirator or neurostimulator there within sec- onds. . . . The face had the same blue, twisted look he had seen that first day on Gilhart's face.

A review of 189 studies covering DBS as well as vagus nerve stimulation and closed-loop stimulation (responsive neurostimulator [RNS]) indicate that neurostimulation provides "another tool with which to treat the complex disease of medically refractory epilepsy."
