Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient’s needs. Every case answers all questions, providing case descriptions and step-by-step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference. 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. Hence, this book provides the informaiton necessary to embrace new breakthroughs.

Exhaustive descriptions of clinical cases from many different DBS clinics in Q&A format
Description of state-of-the-art DBS technology and its implementation in clinical practice
Provides readers with key learning points and flowcharts for common problems
Includes high quality neuro-anatomical illustrations

About the Author

Dr. Martijn Beudel is a neurologist working in the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. His main interest is neuromodulation for movement disorders. In his work, he combines clinical neurology with research on deep brain stimulation (DBS). After obtaining his PhD in functional neuro-imaging (2009), he combined his clinical training in neurology (University Medical Center Groningen) with neurophysiological research on deep brain stimulation (DBS). In 2014 and 2015 he did a post-doc on this subject at the University of Oxford in the group of prof. Peter Brown and worked on the development of a new adaptive form of DBS (aDBS) in Parkinson’s disease. After finishing his training in neurology (2016) he was awarded with a fellowship of the Dutch Brain Council. This enabled him to continue to work on aDBS in Groningen. In 2018 he moved to Amsterdam to work as a consultant neurologist in the DBS team of the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. His current research focuses on the actual clinical application of aDBS, the development of neuro-physiological ‘physiomarkers’ that can be used for the application of aDBS and on the application of machine learning for optimizing DBS treatment in movement disorders.

From the Back Cover

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) employs electrical stimulation to modulate neural circuitry, enhancing movement symptoms by regulating electrical signals in targeted brain regions. Managing DBS for movement disorders presents challenges in optimizing patient care pathways and comprehending the multifaceted clinical aspects of this advanced therapy.

"Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases" offers a comprehensive review of applying DBS in movement disorders using a case-based approach. Each case elucidates key aspects of DBS application tailored to individual patient needs, providing detailed descriptions and procedural steps for replicable outcomes.
