Reviews
“This ebook on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is timely as the use of this technology is rapidly expanding beyond the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, Tourette syndrome and other movement disorders to a broad variety of other neurologic and psychiatric conditions. This growth in the number of therapeutic indications for DBS has been accompanied by remarkable advances in neuroimaging, surgical techniques, and DBS-related technology that have made this form of therapy even more effective and safer. Dr. Mehanna should be congratulated on assembling a team of experts who provide authoritative reviews of the various topics.” — Professor Joseph Jankovic, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA
“Deep brain stimulation is a rapidly developing field. It is now an integral part of the management of patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors. Deep brain stimulation has also been approved by the FDA under a humanitarian device exemption for the management of generalized dystonia and torticollis as well as some severe forms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Research in this field is very active in both the development of new devices and in finding new clinical applications. Dr. Mehanna, an expert in deep brain stimulation in movement disorders, has organized a strong group of collaborators to present updated and novel perspectives in this field.” — Andre G. Machado, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Director of the Center for Neurological Restoration, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Houston, Texas, USA
