The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Medtronic's deep brain stimulation system for use in patients with Parkinson's disease, the medical device maker said on Monday.

The FDA approves BrainSense Adaptive deep brain stimulation and electrode identifier technology for the treatment of Parkinson disease.

The FDA has approved BrainSense, an adaptive deep brain stimulation system that can adjust therapy for Parkinson’s disease in real time based on the patient’s brain activity, according to the manufacturer.

The closed-loop system dynamically self-adjusts DBS therapy to individual brain activity in real time, providing personalized neuromodulation that responds to the patient’s changing needs.

Shortly after obtaining a greenlight in Europe and after more than 10 years in development, Medtronic has now received the FDA’s approval for its adaptive, closed-loop neurostimulation ap | The company said its U.

The Food and Drug Administration on Monday granted its first approval for a pacemaker-like device for the brain to ease symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which affects nearly 1 million people in the United States.

After decades of development and trials, Medtronic has secured U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for adaptive technology personalizing treatment of Parkinson’s symptoms using advanced stimulation deep in the brain.
