Abstract
A modified implantable pulse generator (MIPG) for intraoperative lest stimu lation in chronic deep brain stimulation is described. The MIPG can be used for bipolar stimulation with quadripolar electrodes. The device is program med and controlled with a standard console programmer. It can also be used for postoperative test stimulation with externalized electrodes. In our exp erience, the MIPG has several advantages as compared to the screener that i s usually used.
