The Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Program uses minimally invasive, non-destructive and reversible techniques to help patients with movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, seizures, and certain types of chronic pain.
All of our movement disorders specialists, physician assistants, and nurse coordinators have specialized training in DBS programming. The team uses the Stanford Kinematic Lab's data-driven approach to measure the effect of DBS adjustments.
Your initial DBS programming visit is a comprehensive evaluation of all of the electrodes on the DBS leads, before DBS starts. Using this information, we can set the initial DBS parameters with great accuracy. We refer to this road map over the years, as the deep brain stimulator is continually adjusted. You may take this map with you if you move or receive programming elsewhere.

In a minimally invasive procedure that puts a small wire in the brain, Stanford doctors can help people with essential tremor.
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
For your convenience, you may check in for all same-day appointments at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center through a centralized, check-in desk near the front lobby. In addition to all outpatient services, you also can access onsite pre-surgery consultations at the center.
