The new system being evaluated is by Advanced Neuromodultion Systems, Inc. of Plano, TX. As I understand it, the DBS device being studied is "current based" as opposed to the older, MedTronic technology which is "voltage-based." I'm considering participating in the study and was looking for any stories -- the "good, the bad, and the ugly" :-) -- that oth- ers have had with this new DBS system. On-list or off-list, all input accepted, even though I cannot guarantee a personal reply. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter ...
