Abstract
in English, German

Invasive deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an established treatment procedure for a number of neurological diseases, especially movement disorders. The number of patients treated with DBS is continuously increasing, the technical development of DBS systems is progressing and new indications are currently being tested in studies. This review gives an overview of the current indications and an outlook on future developments of DBS in movement disorders and psychiatric diseases.

Die invasive Hirnstimulation (tiefe Hirnstimulation [THS], „deep brain stimulation“ [DBS]) ist mittlerweile ein etabliertes Therapieverfahren bei einer Reihe neurologischer Erkrankungen insbesondere Bewegungsstörungen. Die Anzahl der mit einer THS versorgten Patienten steigt stetig, die technische Entwicklung der THS-Systeme schreitet voran und neue Indikationen werden aktuell in Studien überprüft. Im folgenden Beitrag soll ein Überblick über die aktuellen Indikationen und ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Entwicklungen der THS bei Bewegungsstörungen und psychiatrischen Erkrankungen gegeben werden.

Keywords: Dystonia; Parkinsons Disease; Psychiatric diseases; Target selection; Tremor.
