Neurotechnology and Brain Stimulation in Pediatric Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurotechnology and Brain Stimulation in Pediatric Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides a comprehensive overview of neurotechnological devices and their potential as treatments for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. A multitude of neuropsychiatric disorders are covered, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Depression, Tourette's Syndrome, and OCD. In addition, different device-based treatments are also presented, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Deep Brain Stimulation, Electroconvulsive Therapy, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, and Direct Neurotechnological devices. As the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of these techniques in children and adolescents are just beginning to be characterized, this book is a timely and updated resource on the covered topics. Provides an overview of neuromodulatory devices as potential treatments for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders in childrenGives evidence-based recommendations for non-drug interventions that may be effective for treatment optionsDiscusses different neuromodulatory treatment options, including TMS, tDCS, DBS, ECT, VNS, chronotherapy and neurofeedback INDICE: 1.
