What Is An Impedance Check During DBS Adjustment? - Everyday Parkinsons Help

What Is An Impedance Check During DBS Adjustment? In this informative video, we will discuss the importance of impedance checks during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) adjustments for individuals with Parkinson's disease. Understanding this measurement is essential for anyone interested in how DBS therapy works. We will cover what impedance is, how it relates to the electrical resistance at the electrode contacts in the brain, and why monitoring these values is necessary for effective treatment.

Additionally, we will explain how clinicians perform impedance checks during DBS programming sessions and what the results can indicate about the hardware and electrode-tissue interface. You’ll learn about the implications of impedance changes over time and how they can affect the current delivered to the brain. We will also provide insights into the process of performing an impedance check, ensuring you understand how this quick and non-invasive procedure fits into routine follow-up visits.

Join us as we break down the significance of impedance checks in managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms and optimizing DBS therapy. Remember, if you have any questions about your treatment, consulting a healthcare professional is always the best course of action.
