Reviews

“This ebook on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is timely as the use of this technology is rapidly expanding beyond the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, Tourette syndrome, and other movement disorders to address a wide range of neurologic and psychiatric conditions. This expansion in therapeutic applications for DBS has coincided with extraordinary advancements in neuroimaging, surgical methodologies, and DBS-related technologies, rendering this form of therapy more effective and safer than ever before. Dr. Mehanna deserves commendation for assembling a distinguished team of experts who offer authoritative insights into various aspects of the subject.” — Professor Joseph Jankovic, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA

“Deep brain stimulation is a dynamically evolving domain. It has become an integral component in the management of patients suffering from advanced Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors. The FDA has also granted humanitarian device exemptions for deep brain stimulation in treating generalized dystonia and torticollis, in addition to certain severe forms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Active research in this area is consistently uncovering new devices and exploring novel clinical applications. Dr. Mehanna, a recognized authority in the realm of deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, has gathered a robust coalition of contributors to present both updated information and pioneering viewpoints in this significant field.” — Andre G. Machado, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Director of the Center for Neurological Restoration, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Houston, Texas, USA
