Description
Neuromodulation will be the first comprehensive and in-depth reference textbook covering all aspects of the rapidly growing
field of neuromodulation. This book provides a complete discussion of the fundamental principles of neuromodulation and therapies applied
to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, autonomic nerves and various organs.
The textbook is highly structured and organized
into overarching sections that cover chronic pain, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, functional electrical stimulation,
cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and organ neuromodulation. The fundamental principles of electricity and infusion, neural tissue
interface, biomedical engineering, neuromodulation devices, basic science, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, imaging and mechanisms are
emphasized. In addition to providing details pertaining to the state-of-the-art current practice, innovative and emerging applications
are discussed in specific chapters. Finally, the textbook provides specific chapters focusing on the technical aspects of the various
neuromodulation procedures as well as technical specifications of various implantable devices.
All of the contributors to
Neuromodulation
represent leading experts in the field. The editors are internationally renowned in their respective fields of neuromodulation, pain
management, functional neurosurgery and biomedical engineering.
Neuromodulation will be the first and foremost authoritative
text on neuromodulation therapies and will establish the gold standard that defines the field for years to come.
