Original lecture slide 20 showing therapeutic window and programming levers

THE THERAPEUTIC WINDOW

  • Programming is optimization of the electrical field — not simply increasing amplitude
  • CLINICAL RESPONSE
  • THERAPEUTIC WINDOW
  • BENEFIT THRESHOLD
  • SIDE-EFFECT THRESHOLD
  • PROGRAMMING LEVERS
  • AMPLITUDE — field strength
  • PULSE WIDTH — pulse duration
  • FREQUENCY — temporal pattern
  • CONFIGURATION — contact + polarity
  • Optimize, don't maximize.
  • DBS programming literature: individualized amplitude, pulse width, frequency and contact configuration.
  • Dr Vikas Kathuria | MCh Neurosurgery
