Analysis of safety in intracranial neuromodulation shows risks in children and specific device designs, suggesting the need for tailored approaches.
Intracranial neuromodulation demonstrated an acceptable safety profile across sexes and age groups. However, children and patients with 4-lead DBS systems were at increased risk of the bowstring effect. These findings highlight the need for tailored device design and surgical strategies to optimize safety, particularly in pediatric populations.
