Status Dystonicus (Dystonia Patients)
If dystonia symptoms return or become more severe, contact your healthcare provider right away.
DBS patients with dystonia may rarely experience a life-threatening worsening of dystonia symptoms. These symptoms may
be referred to as "status dystonicus," "dystonic storm," or "dystonic crisis." This condition may be triggered by several factors,
such as the loss of stimulation from your DBS device. This condition is characterized by severe dystonia associated with muscle
breakdown, organ failure, and possibly, death.
It is important that you monitor your symptoms and maintain DBS as prescribed. If you suspect that your DBS System is no
longer providing adequate stimulation for any reason, contact your healthcare provider right away. If your dystonia symptoms
worsen, contact your healthcare provider right away.
You should know how to use your Remote Control to ensure that your DBS System is on and providing stimulation. You should
know how to charge your IPG (rechargeable IPG only). In order to plan for a procedure in advance, discuss with your healthcare
provider when to expect the need for an IPG replacement (non-rechargeable IPG only).
