Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a proved effective treatment for Parkinson\u2019s disease and dystonia. So far, about 150,000 patients worldwide have been treated with DBS for disabling movement disorder. It is part of the movement disorders neurologist education and knowledge to know at least the basis of this therapy. Indeed, also general neurologists will be increasingly confronted with the management of these surgical patients, who suffer from chronic neurological conditions, thus requiring lifelong care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advanced course is intended for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and nurse practitioners who are already involved in the care of DBS patients. The course will focus on advanced programming options with directional leads, tips for dystonia programming and tremor programming, tips for neurosurgeons, troubleshooting DBS, DBS emergencies and interesting video cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the course, the video section\u00a0will allow interactive involvement of participants concerning challenging\u00a0DBS patients. Attendees will test their acquired knowledge in diagnosis and managing complex DBS cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target Audience<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This course is intended for movement disorder neurologists, functional neurosurgeons, nurse practitioners, and trainees who are already involved in the selection, intra- or postoperative management of patients with movement disorders (Parkinson\u2019s disease, tremor, dystonia, etc.) treated by deep brain stimulation surgery and want to strengthen their knowledge in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
