Are you someone who is interested in the field of movement disorder management and the role that surgical therapy can play in treating patients with these conditions? If yes, then the book “Surgical Therapy for Movement Disorders” by A. Niranjan, L.D. Lunsford, and R.M. Richardson is a must-read for you.

This informative book summarizes the current state of movement disorder management and the role of surgical therapies as alternatives to medication. It covers a range of topics related to movement disorders, including the history of movement disorder surgery, pathophysiology, functional neuroanatomy, clinical presentation, and medical management of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor.

The book is written by leaders in their field who provide detailed insights into the spectrum of movement disorder surgery, including lesioning procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, stereotactic radiosurgery, and high-frequency ultrasound, as well as modulatory procedures such as “asleep”, image-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) and “awake”, microelectrode-guided DBS.

Furthermore, the final chapters of the book discuss emerging neurosurgical therapies, including closed-loop DBS, drug-delivery, gene therapy, and other experimental strategies that are currently reaching exciting phases of clinical translation. This volume is a valuable tool for accessing the wide spectrum of concepts that currently define this dynamic field.

The book is part of the series “Progress in Neurological Surgery,” and it is the 33rd book in the series. It is available in an eBook digital format with 272 pages in total. The publisher is S.
