Recenzje

"Neurostimulation for Epilepsy is a comprehensive and authoritative book previously unavailable in this emerging treatment field that provides a detailed exploration of the principles, device technology, and applications of neurostimulation for epilepsy. With contributions from a team of expert researchers and clinicians, the book covers various neurostimulation techniques, including vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and non-invasive brain stimulation. The book provides insights into the latest advancements in next-generation brain sensing and stimulation devices, as well as their impact on neurocognitive outcomes and quality of life. This work is an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the role of neurostimulation in managing epilepsy." -- Kate Davis, MD, MS, FAES, FANA, Associate Professor of Neurology, Director, Penn Epilepsy Center "Dr. Rao has assembled an impressive group of world-renowned experts in this effort. The book covers all aspects of neurostimulation for epilepsy, from basic principles to clinical trial results to practical advice to possible future applications. In addition to thorough discussions of the "big three" (VNS, DBS and RNS), the book also covers epicranial stimulation and emerging methods of noninvasive stimulation including transcranial magnetic stimulation and low intensity focused ultrasound. There are chapters on applications of the long-term data obtained from these systems, and the effects of neurostimulation on quality of life, cognition and mood. The chapters are well written, thorough yet concise, and very well referenced. There is something for everyone in this book, from those just starting to learn about neurostimulation to experts using it regularly. This is a welcome addition to the library for anyone involved in treating refractory epilepsy or performing related research." -- Lawrence J. Hirsch, MD, Professor of Neurology, Chief, Division of Epilepsy and EEG, Co-Director, Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Yale University School of Medicine

"I highly recommend "Neurostimulation for Epilepsy." It is a comprehensive guide and offers valuable insights. The book covers the essential topics in the various neuromodulation therapies used in epilepsy. This manual provides a balance blend of clinical expertise and educational content, making it an excellent resource for experienced practitioners, researchers as well as those in the early stages of their career." -- Dileep Nair, MD, Professor of Neurology, CCLCM/CWRU; Head of Section of Adult Epilepsy, Neurological Institute; Cleveland Clinic
