Rechargeable deep brain stimulation (DBS) system with longer battery life has become available for treating movement disorders. However, little information exists about the safety and management after implantation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate the recharging performance through long-term observations. ⋯ The PD patients could easily and safely recharge this new rechargeable implantable neurostimulators. Thus, these neurostimulators might be an excellent choice for PD patients.
