A member asked:
Is it safe to adjust the dbs voltage from the patient programmer to ease parkinsons symptoms as needed daily or voltage needs to be maintained at a constant setting until the next programming session?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All DBS adjustments should be performed by the physician who originally programmed the equipment. It is distinctly dangerous to modify the settings outside the designed protocol. Contact your doctor and discuss your concerns directly, as some variations may be useful.
