Postgraduate Certificate in Neurophysiological Techniques for Therapeutic Purposes. Invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation. Botulinum Toxin

Neurophysiological techniques refer to a wide variety of assessment and therapeutic tools used to study and treat disorders of the nervous system. Some of these techniques are applied for therapeutic purposes and can be divided into invasive and noninvasive neuromodulation, as well as botulinum toxin application.

Invasive neuromodulation includes the application of deep brain stimulation, intracranial electrode implantation, percutaneous radiofrequency and other similar techniques involving the introduction of devices into the patient's body. These techniques are used in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia and epilepsy, among others.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) consists of the implantation of an electrical stimulation device inside the brain, which is used to treat disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, epilepsy, among others. DBS is effective due to its ability to modulate activity in certain regions of the brain, which helps to reduce the symptoms of neurological disorders.

On the other hand, noninvasive neuromodulation includes techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation and cognitive behavioral therapy, among others. These techniques do not involve the insertion of any type of device into the patient's body.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic fields to stimulate certain areas of the brain to help treat disorders such as treatment-resistant depression, Alzheimer's disease and chronic pain. TMS is a non-invasive technique that produces therapeutic results without any surgery or grafting.

Botulinum toxin application involves injecting small amounts of a neurotoxin into the muscles to relax them and reduce muscle activity in certain areas of the body. This technique is commonly used to treat neuromuscular disorders such as blepharospasm, cervical dystonia and spasticity. It can be applied both invasively and non-invasively, depending on the area of the body to be treated.

In summary, neurophysiological techniques for therapeutic purposes are a set of tools used to evaluate and treat disorders of the nervous system. These techniques can be invasive or non-invasive, and may include the application of deep brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, botulinum toxin application, among others. Their main objective is to help treat neurological disorders and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from them.
