The subcutaneous placement of IPGs with electrodes to various intracranial and extracranial sites for the purpose of controlling conditions such as essential tremor, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and pain is increasing. Experience with similar placement of cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators had revealed the possibility of generator migration and subsequent lead fracture either spontaneously or, more often, through a patient's conscious or subconscious manipulation of the device through the skin. This phenomenon has been termed twiddler's syndrome.
