The investigators examined in a community-based setting whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for management of major depression among outpatients with TBI histories was associated with improvement in the functional impact of headache (FH) and whether improvements were related to treatment at a specific site in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In the discovery phase (posttraumatic headache 1 [PTH-1] group, N=21), the association of rTMS treatment at DLPFC targets and improvement in headache and depression and anxiety were studied.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves the surgical implantation of a device to modulate nervous system function and has proven efficacy in the management of movement disorders. Recent studies of DBS for the management of substance use disorders have shown promise, and the authors of this review are currently investigating DBS for the treatment of patients with methamphetamine use disorder. However, acute and chronic intoxication with methamphetamine can result in various systemic abnormalities and medical comorbid conditions, presenting challenges for the neurosurgeon, the anesthesiologist, and other medical providers. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of methamphetamine's systemic effects and associated medical comorbid conditions for clinicians engaged in the perioperative care of this patient population. The systemic effects and related medical comorbid conditions that may complicate the perioperative course of patients with methamphetamine use disorder are presented by organ system. With diligent preoperative planning and perioperative management, patients with methamphetamine use disorder can be successfully treated with DBS surgery.
