Summary

Since the publication of the first edition of this book more than two decades ago, the field of neuromodulation has undergone remarkable transformation. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is now a firmly established treatment for movement disorders, and an increasing body of evidence supports DBS in the treatment of other neurological and psychiatric disorders. When DBS first arrived on the scene, the prospect of using a fully implantable neurostimulation system to deliver targeted, adjustable, nondestructive, and reversible brain modulation was paradigm shifting.
