Neurostimulation For Epilepsy: Advances, Applications And Opportunities (EPUB)

by Vikram R. Rao (Author)
 

Neurostimulation for Epilepsy: Advances, Applications, and Opportunities comprehensively reviews the diverse array of neurostimulation technologies currently in use and in development for the treatment of epilepsy. The book covers basic mechanisms of neurostimulation, technical characteristics of approved and investigational neurostimulation devices, clinical applications and programming considerations of these devices, and progress toward next-generation device technology. Leading experts in the field provide a contemporary appraisal of neurostimulation in epilepsy, one that highlights recent advances, outlines unanswered questions, and proposes future directions.
Neurostimulation for Epilepsy: Advances, Applications, and Opportunities will be of high interest to clinical, basic, and translational researchers seeking to understand leading-edge applications of neurostimulation in epilepsy and to clinicians managing patients with epilepsy who are treated with implanted and external neurostimulation devices. This book will also be of interest to trainees, to physicians in other areas of neurology where neurostimulation is employed, such as Pain and Movement Disorders, and to general medical practitioners, neurobiologists, and engineers.
Explains fundamental principles of neurostimulation in accessible terms Details technical characteristics and engineering considerations of neurostimulation devices Describes strengths and limitations of approved and investigational neurostimulation devices Overviews clinical applications of neurostimulation, including device selection and programming Highlights the patient experience with neurostimulation, with an emphasis on quality of life Provides a roadmap for the development of next-generation devices
