This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clinical Guide serves as a reference tool for clinicians in the administration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for neuropsychiatric disorders. The primary intent of this Guide is to focus on the clinical applications of TMS and to offer detailed information on the safe and effective administration of TMS with consideration of the neurophysiological effects particularly in relation to safety, targeting specific cortical areas and practical issues such as the length of treatment sessions and the durability of the TMS response. The Guide focuses on the evidenced based literature and utilizes this literature to inform specific recommendations on the use of rTMS in a clinical setting. The efficacy and safety of TMS for neuropsychiatric disorders, including its use in special populations, such as the elderly, will be reviewed to facilitate clinical decision-making. The Guide will also outline setting up a TMS service including practical issues such as considerations for the qualifications of the person administering the treatment, the use of concomitant medications, what equipment is necessary to have in the treatment room and monitoring the outcomes to treatment. The Guide is intended to be a practical reference for the practicing clinician in the safe and effective administration of TMS.

Download or read book The Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation rTMS and Sensory Cueing SC on Unilateral Neglect and Hemiplegic Upper Limb Functions in Patients After Stroke written by Yonghong Yang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second pilot study investigated the effects of a 2-week programme of sensory cueing (SC) treatment alone conducted in inpatients with UN after following subacute stroke. A single-group, single-case design study was applied; 5 post-stroke UN patients with unilateral spatial neglect underwent a tailored sensory cueing treatment, in addition to conventional rehabilitation, for 2 weeks. Significant changes in the BIT-C scores were found between the baseline and post-interventional testing. Further analysis of the BITC test items in the BIT-C showed that the significant improvement was mostly found mostly in the cancellation subtest; the m. More severe the impairment in UN the patient had, the more significant was the increase in the BIT-C results was found. SC treatment, alone, may be useful and feasible in reducing neglect by improving attention to the contralesional body side of the body, in this neglect patient populations; with subacute stroke, however, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), with proper sample sizes, larger treatment intensitiesy, and longer term of follow-up would beare necessary to prove the effects. In the main study, we compared the effects of low frequency rTMS combined with SC, rTMS alone, and conventional rehabilitation in an RCT that focused on reducing UN and improving hemiplegic arm functions and the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). Sixty subacute patients with left UN, after right hemispheric stroke, were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups. Low frequency (1 Hz) rTMS was applied over P5 of the contralesional hemisphere while vibrational SC was emitted (3 h/day, 5 days/week) using a wristwatch device attached to the hemiplegic arm for 2 weeks. The 3 groups received the same amount of conventional rehabilitation on top of their experimental interventions. Blinded assessments were administered at baseline, 2 weeks postintervention, and 4-weeks after completing the training. As a result, the patients receiving combined low frequency rTMS and SC or rTMS alone demonstrated significantly reduced UN, when measured using the BIT-C; the combination was more effective than rTMS alone. Hemiplegic arm functions and ADL improved in all patients, across the 3 groups, with no significant differences found among the groups. In conclusion, rTMS combined with SC, was better than either rTMS alone, or conventional rehabilitation in producing immediate and long-lasting improvements. The combination treatment might assist in restoring the interhemispheric balance of spatial attention in these types of patients with UN, but the improvements are not associated with arm functions or ADL. This study shows that brain stimulation combined with rehabilitation intervention can assist in restoring the interhemispheric balance of spatial attention after subacute stroke and hence reduce the symptoms of UN. The findings of this thesis would contribute to the scientific evidence and neuroscience, and assist in the design of theorybased treatment in rehabilitation for UN in stroke worldwide.

Download or read book CANADIAN PLATFORM FOR TRIALS IN NON INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION CANSTIM CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION IN UPPER EXTREMITY MOTOR STROKE REHABILITATION TRIALS written by Alexander Thiel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Large scale clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for post-stroke functional motor recovery are lacking. Missing consensus regarding the optimal protocol for rTMS in stroke has been a challenge for trial design. Objective: To develop consensus recommendations for the use of rTMS as an adjunct intervention for upper extremity motor recovery in stroke rehabilitation trials.Methods: The multidisciplinary Consensus Working Group of clinicians and researchers from across Canada identified four consensus themes: 1) patient population; 2) stimulation parameters; 3) rehabilitation interventions; and 4) outcome measures. Comprehensive evidence reviews for each theme were conducted and a weighted dot-voting procedure was used to achieve consensus. Results: The following consensus recommendations were reached: 1) recruit cortical and subcortical stroke patients between 2 and 12 weeks after stroke who have been identified to need upper extremity rehabilitation 2) randomization to receive 1800 pulses of 1Hz rTMS over contralesional M1 at 120% of RMT or sham stimulation 3) followed by 60 minutes of a controlled treatment with known effects (GRASP), for a total of 15 sessions. 4) use of a suite of validated core primary outcome measures of impairment, function and ability as well as subjective patient-centered and real-world actigraphy secondary outcomes and MR imaging biomarkers and MEP parameters as exploratory outcomes. Conclusions: Establishing the CanStim platform and developing these consensus recommendations for an rTMS protocol for clinical trials is a first step toward the translation of non-invasive brain stimulation technologies into the clinic to enhance stroke recovery.

Download or read book Clinical Pathways in Stroke Rehabilitation written by Thomas Platz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on practical clinical problems that are frequently encountered in stroke rehabilitation. Consequences of diseases, e.g. impairments and activity limitations, are addressed in rehabilitation with the overall goal to reduce disability and promote participation. Based on the available best external evidence, clinical pathways are described for stroke rehabilitation bridging the gap between clinical evidence and clinical decision-making. The clinical pathways answer the questions which rehabilitation treatment options are beneficial to overcome specific impairment constellations and activity limitations and are well acceptable to stroke survivors, as well as when and in which settings to provide rehabilitation over the course of recovery post stroke. Each chapter starts with a description of the clinical problem encountered. This is followed by a systematic, but concise review of the evidence (RCTs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses) that is relevant for clinical decision-making, and comments on assessment, therapy (training, technology, medication), and the use of technical aids as appropriate. Based on these summaries, clinical algorithms / pathways are provided and the main clinical-decision situations are portrayed. The book is invaluable for all neurorehabilitation team members, clinicians, nurses, and therapists in neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and related fields. It is a World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (WFNR) educational initiative, bridging the gap between the rapidly expanding clinical research in stroke rehabilitation and clinical practice across societies and continents. It can be used for both clinical decision-making for individuals and as well as clinical background knowledge for stroke rehabilitation service development initiatives.

Download or read book Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation written by Richard A. Bermudes, M.D. and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by clinicians who were involved with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) from the beginning, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice offers everything the mental health practitioner needs to know about this innovative and well-established treatment. It is increasingly clear that different combinations of biological, neurobehavioral, and symptomatic factors contribute to the problem of "treatment resistance" in psychiatric disorders. Fortunately, a number of neuromodulation approaches, including TMS, are providing more options for clinicians to combat psychiatric problems. However, guidance about how to identify patients who are good candidates for TMS and how to comanage them during treatment is scarce because instruction on this modality has yet to be integrated into most psychiatry residencies. Thus, this text fills a great need, providing clinicians with an evidence-based foundation for the efficacy and safety of TMS. Despite the rapid growth of this innovative option, many practitioners are unclear about how best to utilize TMS. The book addresses these clinical concerns systematically and thoroughly: - Clinical vignettes illustrate how to identify appropriate patients for referral to a TMS clinician. - Discussions of treatment resistance, psychiatric and medical comorbidities, and preparation of the patient for TMS are included. - Because TMS is likely to be used concurrently with other treatments, the book explains how to best integrate this modality with psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and other forms of neuromodulation to improve outcomes. - In-depth coverage is provided on how to coordinate efforts between the primary treatment and TMS teams to assure the best outcomes during acute, continuation, and maintenance treatment. - Chapters provide a review of topic-specific literature, as well as clinical vignettes that highlight how to integrate TMS into patient care. - Key clinical points summarize the optimal clinical application of TMS for the general mental health provider. - The evolving nature of TMS research, such as the ongoing development of this and related technologies, as well as its expanding use as a potential treatment for other clinical neuropsychiatric conditions, is also addressed. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice guides the general psychiatrist and mental health clinician on how to integrate this treatment modality into their practice by presenting an update on the current clinical role of TMS and a road map to its potential future.
