Summary
Clinical neurophysiology interventions are crucial for deep brain stimulation in movement disorders. This review highlights neurophysiologic techniques used in treating MS tremor, Parkinson
Area of Science:
- Clinical neurophysiology
- Neurosurgery
- Neurology
Background:
- Clinical neurophysiology plays a vital role in perioperative functional neurosurgery.
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) relies on electrical modulation of brain activity for therapeutic effects, with electrode implantation being a key surgical step.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review neurophysiologic interventions in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.
- To present evidence from the authors' integrated experience across two UK hospitals.
Main Methods:
- Review of neurophysiologic procedures integrated into functional neurosurgery.
- Analysis of clinical experience in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.
Main Results:
- Neurophysiologic procedures are integral to neurosurgery.
- Deep brain stimulation's efficacy is linked to electrically modulating brain activity.
Conclusions:
- Neurophysiologic intervention is essential in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.
- The review covers experiences with multiple sclerosis tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia.
