Neuromodulation in rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury

Klemen GRABLJEVEC ; Univerzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut Soča

Sažetak

Standard rehabilitation approaches that target functional recovery following focal brain damage have limited utility in severe traumatic brain injury.The characteristic dual nature of brain injury, which combines diffuse and focal damage, makes anatomo-clinical correlations exceptionally challenging and limits the success of conventional rehabilitation. Neuromodulation approach represents the class of therapies thatcan help restore function or relieve symptoms that have a neurological basis through the use of devices to stimulate nerves – with pharmaceutical agents, electrical signals, or other forms of energy – by modulating abnormal neural pathway behaviour caused by the disease process. Different neuromodulation methods are described in this paper.
