Major Goals

To review the concept of neuromodulation as an evolving therapeutic strategy

To consider the application of therapeutic neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders with a focus on major depression

To review the definition, indications, administration, efficacy, safety and tolerability for approved therapies

Neuromodulation

Induces electrical current in nervous tissue (i.e., neurostimulation)

Based on concept of functional disturbances in distributed neuronal circuits (e.g., corticolimbic mood circuit)

Episodic impact on brain

Usually no sustained systemic effects

TMS vs ECT Literature Summary 5 of 9 trials reported antidepressant

equivalence

• 1 trial reported UND/BL ECT to be superior to TMS

• 1 trial reported BL ECT to be superior to TMS

• 1 trial found UND/BL ECT plus medication superior to TMS monotherapy in MDD with psychosis but comparable in efficacy to TMS for MDD without psychosis

• 1 trial found improvement with both but ECT>TMS for mood and suicidality

implanted onto specific brain targets The stimulator leads are connected by a wire to

pulse generators, usually placed in the chest Parameters such as frequency (2 to 185 Hz),

intensity (0 to 10.5 volts), and pulse width (60 to 450 μs) are programmable

Stimulators can also be programmed to vary in several respects (e.g., continuous versus intermittent stimulation)

• Nonemergent • Prior good response to unilateral, nondominant ECT

• High risk (e.g., acutely suicidal) • Prior poor response to unilateral,

nondominant ECT

Unilateral, nondominant ECT (2.5-6.0 x seizure threshold)

(insufficient response)Bilateral ECT (excessive cognitive

adverse effects)

(chronic, relapsing)

• Maintenance medication (e.g., lithium plus NT)• Maintenance ECT (± medication)• Maintenance TMS/VNS (± medication)• Possibly DBS

Major Goals

To review the concept of neuromodulation as an evolving therapeutic strategy

To consider the application of therapeutic neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders with a focus on major depression

To review the definition, indications, administration, efficacy, safety and tolerability for approved therapies
