When to call your doctor

Call your doctor if any of the following situations occur:

  • You experience pain, redness or swelling along the scalp, neck, or chest where the stimulation system is implanted.
  • You are not getting relief from your symptoms even though the neurostimulator is turned on.
  • You feel uncomfortable or painful sensations during stimulation (turn off the neurostimulator before calling your doctor).
  • You cannot turn the neurostimulator off (or on).
  • You experience unexpected changes in your symptoms.
  • You experience any unusual symptoms that you think may be caused by electromagnetic interference (for example, from theft detectors or airport security).
  • You lose your patient programmer.

Changes in symptom control

There may be changes in the level of your symptom control over time. These changes may include:

  • Reduced symptom relief
  • No symptom relief
  • Loss of effective stimulation

In many cases, your clinician can correct these changes by reprogramming your DBS system. However, surgery may be required to reposition or replace the lead, replace the system, or remove the system. When the neurostimulator is turned off, your symptoms will return. Some symptoms return quickly. Other symptoms may take longer to return. Because your disease changes with time, your condition may improve, may worsen, or may remain unchanged with stimulation.

If you feel like something's not right with your therapy, or you're not getting relief from your symptoms, you should call your doctor. You can call Medtronic India DBS Sahayata helpline for help with your device.
