Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians, Second Edition

Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians provides an overview of these unique forms of treatment for both clinicians and patients seeking up-to-date and rigorously vetted information. Since publication of the first edition, research activity has exploded, and more than a dozen forms of brain stimulation are currently being developed and evaluated. The authors consider both well-established and emerging brain stimulation therapies—from electroconvulsive therapy to temporal interference stimulation—in a systematic, accessible way. Beginning with a quick review of electricity and physics, elements common to all the methods but are not taught in medical school, the book addresses the relevant neuroanatomy and physics involved in each technique. Finally, the text shifts to chapters on the therapies themselves, offering in-depth but efficient reviews of the clinical literature for each method, helping the reader to separate the evidence from the hype.

An authoritative introduction to this class of therapeutics, Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians is an efficient resource for clinicians, patients, and researchers in pursuit of the latest information on these promising, potentially life-changing treatments.
