Event Description

It was reported that the patient had a tingle from their mouth to their left had when they woke up and turned over in bed.It was only for a quick second and has not occurred anymore.The patient had increased the settings some to help some residual tremor.Tremor did improve when the dbs was increased but the therapeutic effect seems to diminish over time.This hand has always been less controlled than the right hand since implant so this is not anything new.The patient said that the new percept seems to help steady the tremor better that what the old sc used to do though.The issue was resolved at the time of this report.Additional information received from the manufacturer¿s representative (rep) reported the patient was hospitalized because of suicidal ideations which was related to frustration over the increase in tremors.The tremor in their right hand came back so their healthcare provider (hcp) increased their stimulation on july 12th while in the hospital which seemed to improve their tremor.The patient spoke with the rep on july 15th saying the improvements made at the hospital were now gone and the tremor was back.The patient was going to try and use their programmer to increase the settings to see if it could improve their tremor, but ultimately saw the physician on the 17th and stimulation was changed to different contacts and parameters which so far seemed to have helped with their tremor.

Event Description

Additional information received from the manufacturer¿s representative (rep) reported the patient¿s tremors in both hands hadn¿t been as controlled with the new primary cell devices as they were when they had rechargeable devices.The healthcare provider (hcp) was going to bring them back in the next week or so to try reprogramming.
