This session will review various therapeutic delivery systems and surgical management options such as DBS, pump therapy, and focused ultrasound, and how these options can impact the management of Parkinson's, Essential Tremor, and dystonias. Appropriate utilization of these therapies requires specific and hands-on education. The successful operation of these devices and patient outcomes depend on critical decision-making by the provider and the patient's level of comfort and expectations. Upon completion of this course, providers will increase their competence in managing DBS, focused ultrasound, and pump therapy, along with recognizing indications, benefits, risks, and how to speak with patients about these devices.
