Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is increasingly used for the treatment
of patients with severe Parkinson's disease and other movement
disorders, but the technique and science behind it is still poorly
understood by most clinicians. This book is intended to provide an
overview of the use of deep brain stimulation for movement
disorders and to provide an introduction to the developing areas of
DBS for psychiatric disease. The first part of the book covers the
varying surgical techniques involved in implanting electrodes into
various deep nuclei within the brain. The neurophysiological
techniques involved in this process and the complex issue of
programming the implanted stimulator in order to optimize
therapeutic efficacy and minimize stimulation induced adverse
effects. The second part of the book describes how to select
appropriate patients for DBS and describes the results of DBS
treatment for Parkinson's disease, dystonia and various tremors, as
well as psychiatric conditions. Edited by three of the world's
leading experts in the DBS field, this pocketbook provides
neurologists, trainees, and specialist nurses with an overview of
the therapeutics use of DBS.
