Event Description

It was reported that the patient came to clinic with severe right head tilt and feeling that deep brain stimulation (dbs) had been minimally helpful.He felt his overall quality of life had not improved.The device was reprogrammed, but setting change was not helpful.Voltages had to be lowered because higher ones caused tightness sensations.The patient questioned if the leads were in the right position due to partial response to treatment.Right head tilt was improved during following visit, and the settings were again changed to higher amplitude with interleaving.The patient felt they were not doing as well since settings were lowered.An mri was planned to check the lead position.Diagnostics to date included examinations.Etiology was considered related to device/therapy and not related to procedure.The outcome was ongoing.The clinical diagnosis was severe cervical dystonia.Additional information was received stating that the intervention that occurred included suspending therapy.The device turned off to gauge how much benefit dbs provides patient.Action date: (b)(6) 2022.Additional information was received: it was reported that the patient went back into the clinic and wasn't doing well after their last programming.They had moderate head tilt and only some improvement after reprogramming.Additional information was received: it was reported that the patient had their old left gpi lead removed and a new one implanted.They also had their left ins removed and replaced.Their right extension was also removed and replaced.
