How many brain pacemakers are there in the world? Are domestic brain pacemakers good?

The clinical application of brain pacemaker mainly includes imported Medtronic.

and domestic two. In contrast:

1. **, imported brain pacemakers are almost the same as domestic ones**. However, Medtronic's rechargeable brain pacemaker battery life has been verified to be 15 years, which is more cost-effective than the domestic 10 years, eliminating the pain of expiration replacement.

2. Historically, the brain pacemaker was first jointly developed by Medtronic and French doctor Benabid, so imported Medtronic is more advantageous, after all, it is a family of pacemakers, and even cardiac pacemakers.

inventor of . So far, it has been used in clinical practice for more than 30 years, its product technology is advanced, and the battery is very hardcore, the current data shows that more than 170,000 people around the world have been implanted with Medtronic brain pacemakers, and there has not been a single case of battery problems. In contrast, the domestic brain pacemaker has only been out for a few years, and there is still a long way to go, and the domestic brain pacemaker and Medtronic brain pacemaker are reimbursed for the same amount, probably around 15-200,000 yuan, so the most used in major hospitals is the Medtronic brain pacemaker, after all, the same **, Medtronic stability and safety are more controllable in all aspects.

It can probably be divided into rechargeable and non-rechargeable brain pacemakers. The lower brain pacemaker was developed by Medtronic, an American medical technology company. The battery brain pacemaker was introduced more than 30 years ago, and the rechargeable brain pacemaker was introduced 10 years ago.

My relative got Parkinson's disease in 2002, when only one brand of Medtronic in China was used in clinical practice, and after we implanted a battery brain pacemaker, about nine years later, the battery ran out, and the second one was replaced. Now with a rechargeable brain pacemaker, according to Medtronic's registration certificate in the FDA, it can be used for at least 15 years, which can be regarded as a good experience for Parkinson's patients.

If you ask about the brand, then the ones that can be used in China are Medtronic and Pinchi. Medtronic is a research and development company for brain pacemakers and pacemakers, which entered the clinic in 1987 and entered China in 1998, which can not only be used for Parkinson's disease but also for drug-refractory epilepsy, primary hereditary dystonia, essential tremor, etc. Over the past 20 years, more than 10,000 people have been implanted in China.

The second is Pinchi, which was approved for clinical use in 2013, and its reputation and effect have yet to be proven by time.

I have been focusing on the field of medical information for many years, and I can briefly introduce some of them. The clinical application of brain pacemaker mainly includes imported Medtronic and domestic two, and the first aspect can not be considered for the time being, because it is basically the same after insurance reimbursement. Other things to consider are:

The time, effect, safety, and comfort of use.

Historically, the pacemaker was first developed by Medtronic and French doctor Benabid, and has been in clinical use for more than 30 years. In contrast, domestic brain pacemakers have only been around for a few years, and there is still a long way to go.

Secondly, product technology, Medtronic has the world's top production line, from components to products, are independently developed and assembled, and the quality has been certified by the European Union, FDA and China Food and Drug Administration. Great thumbs up! For domestic brain pacemakers, the batteries are imported from abroad, and other devices are purchased and assembled from outside.

Then there is the use time, Medtronic brain pacemaker is currently the longest used Activa rechargeable brain pacemaker, which has also been certified by the European Union, FDA and China Food and Drug Administration, up to 15 years, and the current data shows that more than 170,000 people around the world have implanted Medtronic brain pacemakers, and there has not been a single case of battery problems. The service life of the domestic Pinchi battery is claimed to be more than 10 years, but considering that the brand has only been nine years old, the specific time needs to be verified.

The mother is called Medtronic.

At the same time, referring to the principle of pacemakers, they also produced brain pacemakers, which have been used in clinical use for more than 30 years, benefiting tens of thousands of patients. In 1999, Medtronic brain pacemaker entered China, and then the use of brain pacemaker was carried out in China. In 2013, the domestic brain pacemaker was put into use after national approval.

The data shows that most of the brain pacemakers used in clinical practice are actually imported Medtronic pacemakers, which have stable effects and long service life. Like the current oldest Medtronic brain pacemaker, it is small in size and has clinical complications.

Less, its technology is more mature in all aspects. All data have been experimental, clinical and time verified, and have passed various CE and FDA certifications. At the same time, because Medtronic Brain Pacemaker is a company specializing in high-tech medical technology and has its own independent R&D system, it is internationally recognized as reliable in terms of quality.

Shanghai International Import Expo in 2021.

It also launched Medtronic's latest intelligent and controllable brain pacemaker, which has aroused the admiration of Chinese and foreign professionals.

The domestic brain pacemaker is still in the initial stage of development and improvement, objectively speaking, the performance and experience are still to be studied, and the service life is indeed inferior to the imported pacemaker, which is still in the investigation stage, but the price will be more close to the people.

It is recommended that patients can choose the type of brain pacemaker that suits them according to the doctor's advice and their own symptoms, and if the economy allows, they can choose imported Medtronic brain pacemaker as much as possible, and the performance and efficacy will be more guaranteed.

Domestic brain pacemakers have become better and better, and more and more professional. There are a number of domestic brain pacemakers in the market, among which Jingyu brain pacemaker is very famous, which not only independently develops control chips, but also provides different solutions for the characteristics of Parkinson's disease patients, you will know at once.

As a family member of a friend, I collected a lot of information about two types of pacemakers before performing pacemaker surgery on my family, one is an imported Medtronic and the other is a domestic Pinchi.

First of all, considering the quality of the product, I have done some research myself, which I can share with you.

1. History. Medtronic brain pacemaker, the first DBS surgery was carried out in France in 1987, and has been in clinical use for more than 30 years.

Pinchi brain pacemaker, the news said that it was approved for use in 2013, and the application has been for about 9 years.

Second, the product. In terms of batteries, Medtronic has more than 40 years of battery research and development history, world-class battery laboratories, and perfect battery production lines during the independent research and development of batteries and other periods. Medtronic's Activa RC is said to be the FDA CE NMPA-certified brain pacemaker with the longest lifespan.

And the real data says that after 15 years, it still retains 60% of its initial capacity.

Pinchi, the battery is said to be imported from abroad, and it has a lifespan of about 10 years.

Three**. Imported Medtronic is about 230,000 yuan, and domestic more than 200,000 yuan. Of course, if you have medical insurance, you can first consult the medical insurance bureau to see if it can be reimbursed.

I believe that everyone has their own judgment on how to choose, and I sincerely wish all Parkinson's patients a safe and healthy family.

Domestic brain pacemakers are OK, you can come to Beijing to find me, I will help you apply for domestic brain pacemaker discounts, you can save ** costs. Dr. Chen Tao, Functional Neurosurgery Center, Naval General Hospital.

At present, there are indeed domestic pacemakers, but the quality is still worse than that of imported ones. Suggestions: It is recommended that patients pay attention to rest, and the power of this pacemaker still depends on the frequency of use.

I think the brain pacemaker should be good, it can improve the state of the brain and make people healthy, so this pacemaker should be good.

Whether it is a brain pacemaker made by Tsinghua University or a brain pacemaker imported from the United States, its effectiveness in controlling the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Bilateral domestic brain pacemakers** are relatively low, generally more than 100,000 yuan.

Brain pacemaker surgery can address the vast majority of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease, which are often referred to as the four main signs of Parkinson's disease: tremor, stiffness, bradyness, and postural disorders. It varies according to the timing and degree of improvement.

The results are the best, and the immediate effect is the improvement in tremor, almost all patients will have a significant improvement in tremor at the same time as the machine is turned on, and the best results will be achieved within a few minutes. Lower Medtronic Pacemaker has conducted studies that show that even tremors that do not respond well to drugs before surgery can be significantly reduced after surgery, which is different from other symptoms. Improvements in stiffness, bradykinesia, and posture disorders can take hours or even days to fully manifest themselves.

It is important to note that the degree of improvement in brain pacemaker surgery is very dependent on the patient's response to the drug, i.e., if the symptoms improve better after taking the medicine, the better the improvement in symptoms after surgery. If these symptoms do not improve with medication, then improvement after surgery will not be ideal.

Some people often ask, will the pain be relieved after surgery? Because pain is not a motor symptom of Parkinson's disease, if this pain is related to the stiffness and "end of the dose" of Parkinson's disease, and the pain can be relieved after taking **Parkinson's disease drugs, then surgery will still have an effect on this kind of pain, otherwise, the surgical effect will not be good for the relief of the pain.

In addition, drug-induced dyskinesia is also an indication for surgery, which can significantly improve dyskinesia Not only that, but the patient's dosage can be controlled after the surgery and even the dose of medication can be reduced.

Brain pacemakers can greatly improve motor symptoms and slow the progression of the disease in patients with Parkinson's disease, but they cannot reverse the course of the disease. Non-motor symptoms such as sleep disturbances, constipation, speech impairment in the late stages of Parkinson's disease, dysphagia, etc., are more dependent on the corresponding medications** or ****.

Through the above introduction, I believe that Payou has a preliminary understanding of the different symptoms of Parkinson's disease that can be improved by brain pacemakers.

It's not necessarily better than the domestic one, it's quite expensive, and everyone has reached the use of a pacemaker, which is nothing more than to move the people who spend money and comfort the people who spend money.

I have been suffering from Parkinson's disease for nearly eight years, and in 2015 I was diagnosed with primary Parkinson's disease, and then I took anti-Parkinson's drugs, but the dose was gradually increasing and there was a switching phenomenon.

In March 2020, I underwent DBS surgery** in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kaifenghe University, and the surgery was started 28 days after surgery. I will never forget that day, my wife and daughter witnessed a magical moment with me: Dean He, Director Ma Jiangong, Dr. Ren Hongyu and Teacher Lu Yang of Heda University also jointly held a live broadcast for my boot ceremony, and I felt the naturalness and relaxation of the past when I stopped taking the medication.

In the live broadcast room, I happily sang a "Shepherd Song" for everyone, just like the sheep man who saw the sunshine and hope in the deep mountains, and regained the joy of life and the hope of life.

Now, I work as a cleaner in a subway station, and although I know that I am a patient, I am trying my best to fight for my right to live. Finally, I would like to thank all the medical staff of the First Affiliated Hospital of Heda University who diagnosed my condition, guided me to use medication, and implanted DBS for me.
