hi I am actively looking to buy an electric car .
it states in car manual that heated seats may affect DBS
we’ve had cars for years with heated seats and no problems with DBS (2 years) anybody else had problems
thanks jazzz
Hi Jazzz, thanks for your question. The concern about heated seats and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is mostly due to a general warning about heat and electrical devices that can, in rare instances, affect the implanted DBS system.
As always, if you have any concerns, your Parkinson’s nurse or neurologist can provide you with personalised advice.
