Neurostimulation (PDF)

Could neurostimulation be a management option for your
patients?

Neurostimulation techniques present real management options for
patients with a range of neurologic and psychiatric disorders, such
as movement disorders, pain, and depression. They should be
actively considered when conventional medical approaches have
failed or are inappropriate. But for many clinicians, these new
methods pose many questions. What are the available modalities? How
do they work? Which patients might benefit from them? How do I
explain the processes to patients? How do I monitor my
patient's progress after implantation?

Neurostimulation: Principles and Practice provides a
concise, easy-to-read fusion of the clinical applications of
implanted neurostimulators. It demystifies selection and referral
criteria, maximizing therapy, programming the implanted
neuromodulators, monitoring progress, and troubleshooting problems
associated with neurostimulation.

Neurostimulation: Principles and Practice covers the
modalities available for your patients:

* Deep brain stimulation

* Motor cortex stimulation

* Vagus nerve stimulation

* Spinal cord stimulation

* Peripheral nerve stimulation

Written by an international cast of experts,
Neurostimulation: Principles and Practice sets the stage for
you to provide real clinical benefit to your patients who might
receive, or are already using, neurostimulators.
