Fundamentals of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease in clinical practice: part 2

Mariana Moscovich et al. Arq Neuropsiquiatr. 2024 Apr.

Abstract

The field of neuromodulation has evolved significantly over the past decade. Developments include novel indications and innovations of hardware, software, and stimulation techniques leading to an expansion in scope and role of these techniques as powerful therapeutic interventions. In this review, which is the second part of an effort to document and integrate the basic fundamentals and recent successful developments in the field, we will focus on classic paradigms for electrode placement as well as new exploratory targets, mechanisms of neuromodulation using this technique and new developments, including focused ultrasound driven ablative procedures.

Nesta revisão, que é a segunda parte de um esforço para documentar e integrar os fundamentos básicos e os desenvolvimentos recentes e bem-sucedidos no campo, vamos nos concentrar em paradigmas clássicos para colocação de eletrodos, bem como em novos alvos exploratórios, mecanismos de neuromodulação usados por esta técnica e novos desenvolvimentos, incluindo procedimentos ablativos orientados por ultrassom focalizado.
