Massage Therapy
Avoid massage therapy near the implanted components of the DBS System. If you receive massage therapy, inform the
massage therapist that you have an implanted device. Show the massage therapist where the IPG, DBS Lead Extension, and
DBS Leads are located. Have the massage therapist avoid these areas and proceed with caution.
Medical Devices/Therapies
The following medical therapies or procedures may:
- Turn stimulation off.
- Cause permanent damage to the IPG.
- Cause you injury, especially if they are used near the IPG.
•
Diagnostic ultrasonic scanning is unlikely to damage the IPG if stimulation is turned off. Testing has been completed to
pertinent standards.
•
Electrocautery – The use of a heated electric probe to stop bleeding during surgery. This can potentially damage the
IPG or may cause injury. If you will have this procedure, your healthcare provider should review and follow the guidance
provided in the Information for Prescribers manual.
•
External Defibrillation – The use of electrically charged paddles to restart the heart in an emergency. Safe use has
not been established in DBS patients. Testing has been completed to pertinent standards. Defibrillation is unlikely to
permanently damage the implanted device if:
- Stimulation is turned off.
