An apparatus and a related method for the deep brain stimulation have been invented wherein the parameters of the stimulation supplied at the human nervous system level are adjusted and optimized continuously by the analysis of the bioelectric signals coming from the tissue adjacent the stimulation electrode itself, adapting the therapy continuously and in line to the patient's clinical state. The apparatus is constituted at least by an electro- catheter (1) implantable in a patient's brain and equipped with four contacts (4, 5, 6, 7) . Then, there is at least a stimulation module (9) which generates the stimulating signal (15) sent to the electro-catheter (1) and in particular to one of the contacts thereof (6) . The electro- catheter (1) contemporarily sends a signal characterizing the brain activity coming from the tissue involved by the stimulating signal (15) to an acquisition module (8) . The characterizing signal is used to determine the feedback of the stimulation parameters (15) and, consequently, to adapt the therapy continuously to the patient's clinical state.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé associé permettant une stimulation du cerveau profonde, les paramètres de cette stimulation fournis au niveau du système nerveux humain étant réglés et optimisés de manière continue par l'analyse de signaux bio-électriques en provenance des tissus contigus à l'électrode de stimulation elle-même, adaptant cette thérapie de manière continue et en ligne avec l'état clinique du patient. Cet appareil est constitué au moins par un électrocathéter (1) implantable dans le cerveau d'un patient et équipé de quatre contacts (4,5,6,7). Puis, il existe au moins un module de stimulation (9) qui génère le signal stimulant (15) envoyé à l'électrocathéter (1) et en particulier à un des contacts de celui-ci (6). L'électrocathéter (1) envoie simultanément un signal caractérisant l'activité du cerveau en provenance du tissu concerné par le signal stimulant (15) a un module d'acquisition (8). Le signal de caractérisation est utilisé pour déterminer le retour d'information des paramètres de stimulation (15) et par conséquent, pour adapter la thérapie en continu à l'état clinique du patient.
