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