Published Date: Aug 12, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recently, robotic arms have been incorporated into the implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation (DBS).This study aimed to determine the accuracy of brain electrode placement, initial clinical efficacy, and safety profile of the robotic arm Neuromate (Renishaw) compared to a stereotactic frame in movement disorders.
