Brain Stimulation and General Anesthesia Carvalho Carmona Maria Jose<p>The use of brain stimulation either without drugs at all or with ones that are currently obsolete for the promotion of general&nbsp;anesthesia [1]. Furthermore, different intensities and time durations of stimulation were reported, making it difficult to compare between studies.</p><p>In the past few decades, there has been an intensive development in the techniques of neurostimulation [2], including the use for&nbsp;chronic pain management [3]. Although it has not been assessed for general anesthesia anymore, current data on brain stimulation suggests that low intensity electric currents may have mechanisms that could be useful as an add-on therapy in anesthesia; this supports ethical and well-designed experimental and clinical studies focusing on their anesthetic and analgesic effects.</p> Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Peertechz Publications 2016-03-24 Editorial https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-3476.000022 en Copyright © Carvalho Carmona et al.
