GBPDeep brain stimulation (DBS) is now a firmly established treatment for movement disorders, and an increasing body of evidence supports DBS in the treatment of other neurological and psychiatric disorders. This essential reference guide outlines a practical approach to the use of this paradigm-shifting therapy and covers key aspects of DBS practice. Chapters describe how to implement a DBS program and select appropriate patients, device programming to achieve optimal symptom control, and long-term management of patients. Thoroughly revised, this third edition includes additional chapters on managing patients with emerging applications of DBS. An entire chapter is dedicated to troubleshooting common problems with the therapy as many 'failures' are preventable and addressable. With contributions from experts in the field, this is a must-have reference guide for any clinician working with DBS patients.
- A concise but comprehensive guide for clinicians with all key aspects of DBS practice covered, including patient selection, device programming to achieve optimal symptom control, long-term management, and troubleshooting
- Provides practical, clinically relevant information, written with a broad audience of clinicians in mind - neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, physician assistants, physiologists, and trainees (students, residents, fellows)
- Extensive troubleshooting chapter collates extremely useful information on common problems with the therapy and how best to address them and manage patients successfully
