This video is about the devices and procedures we use in psychiatry to treat certain illnesses. We call these neuromodulation devices. There are called this because they work by directly stimulating the brain to get their effect. The devices or procedures I’m talking about today are transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, electroconvulsive therapy or ECT, vagus nerve stimulation or VNS, neurofeedback and trigeminal nerve stimulation system or eTNS.
