Operative Neuromodulation:Vol.1:Functional Neuroprosthetic Surgery An Introduction

Neuromodulation is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary biomedical
and biotechnological field. Here is the first part of a two-volume
work that presents the state-of-the-art in established and emerging
applications for pain, spasticity, movement disorders, bladder and
bowel dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, psychiatric
illness, impairment of hearing and vision, and computational
neuromodulation. In Operative Neuromodulation, experts describe the
neural networks involved and the appropriate surgical approaches,
provide clinical guidelines and technical descriptions of implanted
devices, and offer proposals for refinements as well as personal
views on future prospects of the field.

This first volume describes techniques and procedures applied in
internal contact with non-neural tissues surrounding the nervous
system (dura or cerebrospinal fluid), as in the case of epidural
stimulation for pain or intrathecal drug application for the
treatment of spasticity and pain. In addition, coverage also includes
a special section on non-invasive functional neuroprosthetic systems,
which are usually applied by transcutaneous contact with the nervous
system.
