Medtronic plc, a global leader in healthcare technology, will spotlight the latest innovations in deep brain stimulation (DBS) at the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders® (MDS Congress) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 27 to October 1, 2024.

Medtronic will host a special interactive session to demonstrate real-world application of its exclusive BrainSense™ technology. The symposium features Medtronic DBS patient, Brandan Mehaffie; his neurologist, Dr. Sol De Jesus, Chief of the Movement Disorders Division, Penn State Health; and implanting neurosurgeon, Dr. James McInerney, Professor of the Department of Neurosurgery, Penn State Health who will demonstrate how Brandan’s Percept™ PC neurostimulator with BrainSense™ works to manage his Parkinson’s symptoms.

In addition, Medtronic Brain Modulation research and clinical experts will join neurologist, Dr. Todd Herrington, Director of the Deep Brain Stimulation Program, Mass General Hospital to present key lessons learned from the Adaptive DBS Algorithm for Personalized Therapy in Parkinson’s Disease (ADAPT-PD) trial. The ADAPT-PD trial is a global, multi-center, prospective, single-blind, and randomized crossover study developed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of chronic dual and single threshold adaptive deep brain stimulation^† (aDBS) modes (as compared to continuous DBS) across all PD patients eligible for DBS.  Adaptive DBS (aDBS) is investigational and is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercialization in the United States (US). In the US, the safety and effectiveness of aDBS has not been established. aDBS is investigational and not available for commercial distribution in Europe. The Medtronic Adaptive DBS feature is only approved in Japan.

“We are excited to showcase our latest groundbreaking research and innovation at the 2024 Movement Disorder Society Congress,” said Rob Raike, PhD, director of Medtronic Neuromodulation Research and Technology, which is part of the Neuroscience Portfolio at Medtronic. “This Congress is an important forum for scientific exchange and underscores the criticality of academic and industry partnership. For more than 30 years, Medtronic has been committed to advancing the clinical and scientific discipline of movement and other neurological disorders and we remain deeply invested in the advancement of DBS therapy.”

Medtronic will have key Neuromodulation executives on-site including Amaza Reitmeier, vice president and general manager, Brain Modulation; Paolo Di Vincenzo, president, Neuromodulation; Robert Raike, PhD, director, Neuromodulation Research and Technology; Dara Polnerow, senior director, training and education; Kimberly Thomas-Pollei, PhD, Neuromodulation; and Jason Fiepel, senior product development director, Brain Modulation.

Attendees can explore the future of DBS at the Medtronic Innovation Tech Suite, which is behind the Medtronic exhibit booth #813. Additional details about Medtronic at the MDS Congress are listed below:

The globally recognized MDS Congress is held during a year of significant advancements from Medtronic Brain Modulation, including the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark approvals of the Medtronic Percept™ RC neurostimulator as well as FDA approval of Asleep DBS for people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and expanded MRI labeling - both exclusive to Medtronic DBS. Medtronic also recently announced the publication of its ADAPT-PD clinical trial methods manuscript. 

Since 1987, Medtronic has served more than 185 thousand patients with movement disorders and other indications in more than 70 countries with its life-changing DBS therapy¹.
