Description
Deep Brain Stimulation Programming: Mechanisms, Principles and Practice 2nd Edition is an essential resource in the realm of neurotherapeutics, showcasing how deep brain stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a pivotal intervention for a plethora of neurological and psychiatric ailments. As patients seek effective means to achieve optimal control over their conditions, the pressing concern is how to streamline the complexities of post-operative programming to be more cost-effective, particularly when conventional medications no longer suffice.
The comprehensive 2nd Edition of Deep Brain Stimulation Programming, published by Oxford University Press and authored by the esteemed Dr. Montgomery, has been meticulously updated to encompass the latest advancements in DBS technology. What sets this edition apart is its exclusive focus on post-operative programming—a topic that remains underrepresented in existing literature. This authoritative text serves as an indispensable guide for DBS programmers, presenting a robust understanding of the brain as an intricate electrical mechanism. Readers will delve into the nuanced mechanisms of neuronal responses to electrical stimulation, the intricacies of stimulation control, and the regional anatomical variations that significantly affect patient responses to DBS therapy.
Dr. Montgomery’s insightful examination includes groundbreaking programming techniques, such as stimulation frequency variations, the advent of closed-loop DBS systems, and the pivotal roles of oscillators. These innovative approaches challenge and refine traditional theories of pathophysiology, providing a fresh perspective on treatment protocols.
Key Features of the Updated 2nd Edition:
– Emphasizes crucial aspects of post-operative deep brain stimulation to enhance patient outcomes.
– Integrates the most recent research findings and advancements in DBS programming.
– Richly illustrated with detailed figures to facilitate understanding of key techniques and programming principles.
– Includes an appendix of valuable resources available through the Greenville Neuromodulation Center for further exploration.
