Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management Through Clinical Cases

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. Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases, reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders using a case-based approach. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient’s needs. Every case takes the reader on a journey answering all questions through case descriptions and step by step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter will include a clinical decision support systems (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference.
