‘Brain Stimulation Technique’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

 

Brain stimulation techniques involve methods that modulate neural activity to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions. One prominent method is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain. TMS is primarily used to treat depression, particularly when other therapies have not been effective.

Another technique, deep brain stimulation (DBS), involves implanting electrodes in targeted areas of the brain. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses to regulate abnormal brain activity associated with movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. DBS is also being investigated for conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and epilepsy.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a method where a device is implanted under the skin to deliver electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, used in epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression.

These brain stimulation techniques offer promising avenues for treating a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, often complementing other therapies to improve symptoms and enhance quality of life for patients.
