Directional Deep Brain Stimulation Explained | Steering & the Future of DBS

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has evolved far beyond traditional ring electrodes. In this advanced, clinician-focused lecture, we explore Directional Deep Brain Stimulation (Directional DBS) — a major shift in how electrical fields are shaped, steered, and optimized in movement disorder surgery. This talk is designed for neurologists, neurosurgeons, DBS programmers, and movement disorder specialists who want a deep, practical, and evidence-based understanding of directional DBS. 🔍 What this video covers: Why traditional ring electrodes limit DBS precision The concept of directional leads and field sculpting Single-Segment Activation (SSA) vs multi-segment stimulation How steering differs from temporal multiplexing Real-world benefits and limitations of directional DBS Evidence, consensus views, and current clinical practice Who benefits most from directional DBS — and when it adds little Future directions: sensing, beta oscillations, and adaptive DBS Rather than a device-centric view, this lecture emphasizes concepts, trade-offs, and decision-making, helping clinicians understand when and why to use directional stimulation — not just how. 🎯 Who should watch: Movement disorder neurologists Functional neurosurgeons DBS fellows and trainees Neurophysiologists Researchers interested in DBS technology and adaptive stimulation If you work with DBS or are interested in the future of neuromodulation, this talk will help you move from contact selection to field control.
