Open- vs. Closed-Loop Neurostimulation and Enabling Biomarkers
Neurostimulation of the human brain is a proven treatment for epilepsy and movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. Stimulation is typically done 'open-loop', with settings determined by a clinician and changed little between programming sessions. However, newer methods of tailoring ongoing stimulation to individual patient states have shown great promise for more effective and more efficient therapies. This session will review applications of open- and closed-loop stimulation, along with upcoming trends in both technologies.
