DBS Remote Programming Video
Remote programming for deep brain stimulation is making life easier for patients throughout Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and New Mexico. Patients now only need to come to Denver for surgery and can have the follow-up programming and any future adjustments made remotely while they are at home. Art Nixon, of Brush, Colo., was one of the first patients in the country to utilize remote DBS programming after having the surgery to control his essential tremor. “I’m going to be able to take my wife out to dinner. This is going to be an amazing day,” Mr. Nixon said through tears after his first programming session took away nearly all of his tremors. “I can’t tell you how much this means to me.”
