Appendix 10 Appendix 10.1 Definitions 10.1.1 Neurostimulation Devices The neurostimulation devices market comprises devices used for the electrical stimulation of specific nerves in the body for a controlled and desired result. The devices include a pacemaker for generation of electric signal, leads and electrodes. External neurostimulators are not tracked under this market. The types of implantable neurostimulators cortical stimulators, deep brain stimulators, sacral nerve stimulators, spinal cord stimulators and vagus nerve stimulators. 10.1.1.1 Cortical Stimulators A Cortical Stimulator (CS) is a medical device used to revive neural activity in the nervous system of critical patients by delivering an electrical shock using leads and electrode arrays implanted on the surface of the brain to induce brain activity. One unit consists of one impulse generator, lead and electrodes. 10.1.1.2 Deep Brain Stimulators A Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) is an impulse generating device which is implanted surgically to send electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. It consists of an impulse generator and electrode leads. Deep brain stimulators include implantable devices with their electrodes placed in the basal ganglia for the management of movement disorders, including Parkinson s disease, dystonia, and tremor. One unit consists of one impulse generator, lead and electrodes. 10.1.1.3 Sacral Nerve Stimulators Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS), also termed sacral neuromodulation, involves the implantation of a programmable stimulator under the dura mater, which delivers low amplitude electrical stimulation to the S3 or S4 root. One unit consists of one impulse generator, lead and electrodes. 10.1.1.4 Spinal Cord Stimulators A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) or Dorsal Column Stimulator (DCS) is an implantable medical device used to treat chronic pain of neurological origin. An electric impulse generated by the device near the dorsal surface of the spinal cord provides a paresthesia sensation that alters the perception of pain by the patient. One unit consists of one impulse generator, lead and electrodes. 10.1.1.5 Vagus Nerve Stimulators A Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is an impulse generating device which is implanted surgically to send electrical impulses to the vagus nerve. It consists of an impulse generator and electrode leads. An adjunctive treatment for patients with intractable epilepsy, particularly complex partial or secondarily generalized seizures; stimulation is delivered to the left vagus nerve in the neck by a stimulator implanted in the anterior chest wall. One unit consists of one impulse generator, lead and electrodes. 10.1.2 Prevalence or Diseased Population Prevalence population is the estimated number of people at any given point of time in a year who are affected by neurological disorders. 10.2 Sources AF Coy, et al.
