Deep brain stimulation at end of life : clinical and ethical considerations

Article indépendant

SANKARY, Lauren R. | FORD, Paul J. | MACHADO, Andre G. | HOEKSEMA, Laura J. | SAMALA, Renato V. | HARRIS, David J.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an implanted neurological device effective in treating motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD), such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. More than 150,000 patients worldwide have been implanted DBS, including its continued benefit or potential complications, yet, no published articles provide guidance for hospice providers regarding the management of DBS devices in end-of-life care. With contributions from hospice physicians, a neurosurgeon, and ethicists, this article provides recommendations to adress clinical and ethical challenges in optimizing DBS for patients with PD nearing the end of life.
