Stimulation

Numerous studies have been conducted to compare the therapeutic efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as methods of treatment for major depressive disorder. In general, studies demonstrate that ECT is more effective in alleviating acute depressive symptoms. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to both procedures. ECT is often accompanied by more adverse cognitive side effects than rTMS, while the latter usually requires more sessions to

Haven is an 18yo, G1 P0, who was seen for an ultrasound evaluation to confirm dates and evaluate some of the fetal anatomy. This is the patient’s 1st pregnancy and she overall has no complaints. She has a history of using THC in the past but denies any current usage. Her LMP was 09/26/17 but she states that her cycles are often 35 days in length. using that LMP she has an EDD of 07/03/18 placing her at 17 ½ weeks. On today’s evaluation the measurements are concordant with an EFW at the 50%ile

skeletal muscle changes found abnormal in patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) becoming the source of signals affecting cardiorespiratory control. The aim of the present study was to test whether or not Low Frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation is able to safely correct exaggerated ergoreflex activity in thirty patients with advanced heart failure patients with a mean (±SD) age 60.13(±5.60), thus improving their constant sense of fatigue, increasing dyspnea and exercise intolerance and

As the world grows more technologically advanced, more unknowns present themselves. One of these involve the new trend of do-it yourself neural stimulation. In her article, “Zapping Their Brains at Home,” Anna Wexler addresses the concerns of scientists as their technique has grown in popularity with people at home. In contrary to the popular opinion of neuroscientist, Wexler believes that the at home use of these devices are not a negative, but instead a positive and modern way to “optimize productivity

The Trail of Evidence From Treatment To Causes of Depression When a person is depressed, the primary characteristic is a subjective awareness of mood change: the person has an ongoing feeling of sadness or emptiness. This feeling is often accompanied by eating disturbances, feelings of hopelessness, inability to concentrate, indecisiveness, sleep disturbances, lost interest in enjoyable activities, psychomotor retardation, fatigue, sluggishness or lethargy, and is often co-morbid with other

others. Sometimes, it is also use when the symptoms are too severe that the doctor cannot take the risk of waiting for the medication take effect. Furthermore, according to the website, the Electroconvulsive Therapy is only one of several brain stimulation therapies. ECT uses electrical current, but other use magnets or implants to cure depressions. The advantages are as follows: It is the fastest way to relieve symptoms in severely depressed or suicidal patients. It is also very effective to control

implantation as not medically necessary. There is a letter to the member from the carrier dated 03/10/16. In the letter, the carrier states in part: “According to the Medical Director Review, the request for placement of neurostimulator for deep brain stimulation(DBS)(an implanted device that sends electrical signals

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as an Alternative to Electroconvulsive Therapy for Treatment Resistant Depression Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects approximately 6.7% of adults age 18 and over in the United States (US) in a given year, as well as rates as the leading cause of disability for ages 15-44 (https://adaa.org/about-adaa/press-room/facts-statistics). Despite consistent advances in psychopharmacology, only about 60-70% of patients respond to psychopharmacological treatment. Of those

described as feeling sad, lost, angry, and frustrated. Today, antidepressants are the main way to treat depression. Researchers are working on a new treatment to better help people with depression. This treatment is called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Researchers want to know how TMS can be used, and what type of depression patients they want to use it on. Studies have helped narrow down the facts of depression and the effect of TMS. The future of TMS is still unclear but one day it will
