Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases

Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient's needs. Every case answers all questions, providing case descriptions and step-by-step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses electrical stimulation to regulate electrical signals in neural circuits to and from identified areas in the brain to improve movement symptoms. The management of DBS in a movement disorders can be challenging, optimizing patient journeys and grasping all clinical aspects of the highly technological therapy. Hence, this book provides the informaiton necessary to embrace new breakthroughs. - Exhaustive descriptions of clinical cases from many different DBS clinics in Q&A format- Description of state-of-the-art DBS technology and its implementation in clinical practice- Provides readers with key learning points and flowcharts for common problems- Includes high quality neuro-anatomical illustrations
