Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice, 2nd Edition

Since the first transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2008 to treat major depressive disorder in adult patients, the field of TMS has experienced tremendous growth. Despite the growing availability of this option-and expanding insurance coverage-many practitioners remain unsure about how to best apply TMS.
That is what makes this second edition of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice such a critical resource. Updated to reflect the latest research and evolving clinical practices, this volume addresses practical aspects that include patient selection and practice management and delves into the clinical application of TMS in cases of treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders.
Key updates in this guide include * New chapters on the use of TMS for obsessive-compulsive disorder and important practice management tips for TMS clinicians. * Expanded content on integrating pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy with TMS, reflecting deeper integration into treatment strategies. * New guidance on using TMS in the treatment of major depressive disorder. * The incorporation of recent and future innovations, including theta burst stimulation, accelerated TMS, and frequency-personalized TMS.
The comprehensive chapters seamlessly blend current research with clinical vignettes that illustrate the expanding range of conditions treatable with TMS and how TMS is integrated into patient care. Key points aid in future reference.
Providing a detailed exploration of the latest clinical applications and innovations, as well as actionable advice and best practices, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice is an invaluable manual for practitioners at all levels of experience who want to stay at the forefront of their field, make more informed decisions regarding patient care, and ensure treatment effectiveness.
