The invention relates to a device for treating patients by means of brain stimulation, an electronic component, and the use of said device and electronic component in medicine. Brain electrodes known in prior art, which are used for therapeutic permanent stimulation, have the disadvantage that as a non-physiological input in the area of the brain, for example the thalamus or the basal ganglions, permanent high-frequency stimulation can result in the affected neuron groups adapting thereto within a few years. Stimulation consequently has to be performed at a higher amplitude in order to obtain the same stimulating effect. Said disadvantages are eliminated by the inventive device comprising the following components: at least one brain stimulating electrode ( 2 ); at least one sensor ( 3, 2 ) measuring an electrical signal; control means ( 4 ) which detect the presence of a pathological signal and feed at least one pulse to the electrode ( 2 ) when the pathological signal occurs while turning off the pulse when the pathological feature discontinues. |
