Problems with deep brain stimulation devices referred to private practice for follow up.
Increasingly, more centers perform deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of movement disorders; however, the majority of publications focus on treatment outcomes at tertiary care centers. We retrospectively evaluated nine consecutive patients who were implanted with DBS, initially programmed at other centers, and eventually referred to a community practice for follow up.
