One
common form of brain stimulation is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS),
which uses magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in targeted regions of
the brain. TMS is primarily used to treat depression when other treatments have
not been effective.
Another
technique is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), where electrical currents are
applied to the brain under anesthesia to intentionally induce a seizure. ECT is
often used for severe depression, bipolar disorder, and sometimes
schizophrenia.
Deep
brain stimulation (DBS) involves implanting electrodes in specific brain
regions and delivering continuous electrical pulses. DBS is used to treat
movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, as well as
certain psychiatric conditions.
These
brain stimulation techniques aim to alleviate symptoms, improve brain function,
and enhance quality of life for patients, often as part of a comprehensive
treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
