This book is a comprehensive reference on therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that documents the current status in the field. While introductory chapters cover the neurophysiology of rTMS and present imaging information about its mechanisms of action, the main focus of the book is the clinical applications of rTMS that have been tested to date. These include treatment of paresis, aphasia, and visual neglect in stroke patients, therapy for motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease, and applications for tinnitus and neuropathic pain. Based on the available clinical evidence (RCTs, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews), combined with the personal experience of experts in the field, a clinically oriented best evidence synthesis is provided for each therapeutic application, together with a clear description of rTMS algorithms that generate clinical benefits in the target domain. Clinicians and researchers are thereby informed about the state of the art in terms of both the evidence base for therapeutic rTMS and practical issues in its application. A further feature is the presentation of a theoretical model of therapeutic action for each therapeutic target, and a concluding chapter describes a general concept of therapeutic applications of rTMS in neurology and associated fields. Therapeutic rTMS in Neurology will be invaluable for clinicians and researchers in neurology and related fields, inc luding neurologists, physiatrists, and ENT and pain specialists.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) has proven itself a versatile technique that reduces the risks of acquiring intraoperative neurological deficits, shortens operating time, and lowers the costs of medical care and rehabilitation. It can also reduce the risks of medical malpractice suits and serve as a research tool to better understand nervous system disorders and promote improved treatments. In Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring, Second Edition, the premier authority on the subject, Aage R. Møller, has extensively expanded and rewritten his highly regarded first edition to create a comprehensive, up-to-date reference on IOM techniques and their anatomical and physiological basis. In addition, the author has added new material on the monitoring of the spinal motor system, sensory systems, peripheral nerves, and in skull base surgery. Writing as a pioneer and leader in the field, Dr. Møller provides practical information about how to perform electrophysiological recordings in the operating room, interpret the results, and present them to the surgeon. Included are descriptions of methods for guiding the surgeon in such operations as microvascular decompression and the implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation and auditory prostheses. Methods for mapping of the cerebral cortex, the brainstem, and the spinal cord are also described, as well as practical procedures for monitoring cranial motor nerves. Practical aspects of IOM including requirements of equipment, reducing electrical and magnetic interference, and how to work with other teams in the operating room are discussed in detail. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring, Second Edition, is an authoritative survey of the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to reduce the risks that occur in surgical operations impacting the nervous system.
