The MDS-PAS 3rd School on Neuromodulation for Movement Disorders will provide a unique opportunity for neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and other allied health personnel to receive an overview on current neuromodulation techniques with a particular emphasis on patient cases and real-time programming sessions. Topics will focus on all aspects of this surgical modality for Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and tremor.
The course program will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions, with the morning featuring introductory lectures on Neuromodulation with dedicated time for questions and answer session (Q&A). The afternoon sessions will allow attendees to organize into small groups, review case presentations, and highlight the steps that can lead to the successful application of neuromodulation beginning with selection of surgical candidates, establishing surgical strategies for lead implantation (including imaging and neurophysiology recordings), and guidelines for optimization of deep brain stimulation programming.
