Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Clinical Psychiatry

As understanding evolves about how different brain regions are involved in carrying out everyday tasksAand in causing brain diseases when they go awryAthis book describes a new technology that allows physicians to focally stimulate the brain in awake adults through a non-invasive procedure. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Clinical Psychiatry is an accessible and authoritative review of TMS, a procedure that is showing promise as a treatment in several disorders. Its authors explain how the procedure works, then the latest findings in a wide range of situationsAnotably in depression, but also in other conditions ranging from migraine to stroke recovery. This concise overview of TMS offers practical guidance for psychiatrists and other clinicians using it as a therapy, or referring their patients to have this done, as well as updating the field for neuroscientists and neurologists. It begins with background on the physics and safety of TMS, a guide for administering the procedure, and a review of basic neurophysiological studies with TMS, showing how it can be used to measure connectivity and excitability of the cerebral cortex. The heart of book is then devoted to its clinical applications, organized by disorder: -Epilepsy, movement disorders, and painAdescribes the use of TMS in inducing and inhibiting seizures and investigating their pathophysiology; in treating Parkinson's disease; and in relieving pain through motor cortex stimulation -Major depressionAprovides a critical review of research in the most-studied clinical application of TMS in psychiatry, where it is used as a therapeutic intervention and a neurophysiological probe -ManiaAexplores the effectiveness of TMS in light of its ECT-like properties through a trial of right TMS vs. sham TMS -Anxiety disordersAreports on investigations on the uses of TMS in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder -SchizophreniaAreviews studies utilizing single- or paired-pulse TMS to assess cortical inhibition and those that explore effects of extended trains of repetitive TMS in altering symptoms A further chapter on TMS in brain imaging shows how integrating imaging and TMS allows one to better place the TMS coil, better understand TMS effects on the brain, and improve understanding of how the brain mediates behavior. With a concluding overview of prospects for the future of repetitive TMS, this volume offers a definitive look at this cutting-edge research and provides critical guidance on how and when clinicians might use TMS in their practice.

The Heart Of Book Is Then Devoted To Its Clinical Applications, Organized By Disorder:

• Epilepsy, Movement Disorders, And Pain—describes The Use Of Tms In Inducing And Inhibiting Seizures And Investigating Their Pathophysiology; In Treating Parkinson's Disease; And In Relieving Pain Through Motor Cortex Stimulation
• Major Depression—provides A Critical Review Of Research In The Most-studied Clinical Application Of Tms In Psychiatry, Where It Is Used As A Therapeutic Intervention And A Neurophysiological Probe
• Mania—explores The Effectiveness Of Tms In Light Of Its Ect-like Properties Through A Trial Of Right Tms Vs. Sham Tms
• Anxiety Disorders—reports On Investigations On The Uses Of Tms In Treating Obsessive-compulsive Disorder And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
• Schizophrenia—reviews Studies Utilizing Single- Or Paired-pulse Tms To Assess Cortical Inhibition And Those That Explore Effects Of Extended Trains Of Repetitive Tms In Altering Symptoms

a Further Chapter On Tms In Brain Imaging Shows How Integrating Imaging And Tms Allows One To Better Place The Tms Coil, Better Understand Tms Effects On The Brain, And Improve Understanding Of How The Brain Mediates Behavior.

reviewer:philip G. Janicak, Md(university Of Illinois At Chicago College Of Medicine)
description:this Book Considers The History, Mechanisms, Physics, And Administration Of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (tms); Basic Neurophysiological Studies; And The Therapeutic Application Of Tms. It Also Discusses Brain Imaging Techniques To Decipher Its Mechanism Of Action And Future Directions.
purpose:given The Completely Novel Therapy Tms Represents, The Book Provides The Necessary Background In Anticipation Of Fda Approval For Treatment Of Depression.
audience:practitioners In Psychiatry And Neurology And Resident Trainees Are The Intended Audience. The Editors And Contributors Have International Status In This Area.
features:the Book Covers Critical Issues Beginning With A Concise And Clearly Written Overview. It Also Emphasizes Important Differences Between Tms And Ect And How Tms May Fit Into A Treatment Algorithm With Other Emerging Somatic Therapies Such As Vagus Nerve Stimulation (vns) And Deep Brain Stimulation (dbs). While Tms Is Generally Well Tolerated, The Editors Appropriately Note The Need For More Information About Adverse Effects With Chronic Exposure.
assessment:practical Issues Of Administering Tms Are Well Covered And Underscore The Need For A Training And Certification Process. A Discussion Is Included On The Management Of An Inadvertent Seizure, Which Is Uncommon But Obviously A Serious Event. The Chapter On Basic Neurophysiology Considers The Impact On Brain Connectivity And Excitability But Is Not As Critical For Practitioners, Serving More As A Reference Source. Therapeutic Application Of Tms Appropriately Emphasizes Its Use For Depression With Shorter Discussions On Neurological Disorders, Mania, Anxiety Disorders, And Schizophrenia. Discussions Also Cover Combining Tms With Imaging To Explore How It Affects The Brain And How The Brain Mediates Behavior. The Authors Even Envision The Possibility Of An Mri/tms Machine Which Could Provide Unprecedented Research And Therapeutic Options. While The Writing Is Uneven And Overly Technical In Some Discussions, This Is A Unique Compendium Which Provides The Necessary Background To Use Tms Therapeutically And A Fascinating Glimpse Into Future Applications.
