Types of Deep Brain Stimulation
Electrode placement targets different brain structures depending on the condition being treated, most commonly the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus for Parkinson's disease, and the thalamus for essential tremor. Some systems use a single implanted pulse generator to stimulate both sides of the brain, while others use two separate devices depending on symptom severity and distribution.
