Exploring the Adoption of Implantable Brain Stimulation into Standard of Care for Central Nervous System Disorders

Implantable brain stimulation has had a profound impact on neuroscience research and the treatment of central nervous system disorders by allowing physicians to directly intervene in the pathological neural circuits of their patients. To explore the logistical, educational, and economic barriers to adopting this technology into regular use in clinical care, the National Academies Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a public workshop in October 2023.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction and Background2 Crossing the Chasm: Lessons Learned Across Medical Technologies3 Perspectives from Those with Lived Experiences4 Patient Selection and Engagement5 Health Professional Education and Adoption6 Reimbursement and Other Economic Considerations7 Potential Next Steps to Move the Field ForwardAppendix A: ReferencesAppendix B: Workshop Agenda
