Medtronic launches Percept PC Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system

Mumbai, Jul 23 (UNI) India Medtronic Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc on Friday launched Percept PC Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system.
The system enabled with BrainSense technology is designed to capture brain signals while simultaneously delivering therapeutic stimulation, inside and outside the clinic. Ergonomically designed, the Percept PC device offers enhanced comfort and is indicated for patients with Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and epilepsy.

DBS therapy for movement disorders has gained acceptance and widespread clinical use in recent years. DBS is an individualized therapy delivered from a small pacemaker-like device, placed under the skin of the chest or abdomen, to send electrical signals through very thin wires (leads) to a targeted area in the brain related to the symptoms of a neurological disorder.
''Medtronic has always been committed to changing the standard of care and improving patient outcomes. With Percept PC, physicians can now track patient brain signals and correlate these with patient-recorded actions or experiences such as symptoms, side-effects, or medication intake. This allows for more personalized, data-driven neurostimulation treatment. Medtronic is working towards devising meaningful innovations that harness the power of data to improve overall care and efficiency,'' said Rahul Arora, head of Neurosciences Therapy, Medtronic India.

The first Level I randomized controlled trial of Medtronic DBS Therapy for Parkinson’s disease-indicated DBS (subthalamic nucleus target) patients with recent onset of motor complications achieved a 20 pc statistically significant improvement in time with good mobility and no troublesome dyskinesia (2.1 hours from baseline) compared to 2 pc (0.2 hours) with best medical therapy (BMT) alone at 24-month follow-up.
