Approaches to closed-loop deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.

CONCLUSIONS Closed-loop DBS seeks to employ biomarkers, derived from sensors such as electromyography, electrocorticography, and local field potentials, to provide real-time, patient-responsive therapy for movement disorders. Most studies appear to focus on the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Several approaches hold promise, but additional studies are required to determine which approaches are feasible, efficacious, and efficient.
