Placebo Effects and Neuromodulation: Ethical Considerations and Recommendations
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s34-s41. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2023.24. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTPlacebo-controlled trials are the gold standard of evaluating treatment efficacy in clinical research. Neuromodulation is emerging as an important treatment pathway for many neuropsychiatric conditions, and placebo control arms of these trials require careful design with unique considerations (e.g., sham devices that mimic active stimulation, blinding effectiveness). Inherent to placebo-controlled trials are ethical concerns, such as deception, and potential harm of not receiving the active treatment. In this article, we outline i...

Antitrust as a Guardrail for Socially Responsible Neurotechnology Design
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s42-s45. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2022.340. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTThe neurotechnology sector is likely to develop under pressure towards commercialized, nonmedical products and may also undergo market consolidation. This possibility raises ethical, social, and policy concerns about the future responsibility of neurotechnology innovators and companies for high-consequence design decisions. Present-day internet technology firms furnish an instructive example of the problems that arise when providers of communicative technologies become too big for accountability. As a guardrail against the emerge...

Mapping the Landscape of Equitable Access to Advanced Neurotechnologies in Canada
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s17-s25. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2023.18. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTGeographic, social, political, and economic factors shape access to advanced neurotechnologies, yet little previous research has explored the barriers, enablers, and areas of opportunity for equitable and meaningful access for diverse patient communities across Canada. We applied a mixed-mode approach involving semi-structured interviews and rating scale questions to consult with 24 medical experts who are involved in the care of patients who undergo functional neurosurgery targeting the brain. Seven major themes emerged from the ...

Emerging Neurotechnologies: Implications for Professional Relations and Communication
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s4-s9. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2022.339. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTRapid advances in neurotechnology and neurosurgery are positioned to revolutionize care for patients suffering from debilitating neurological and psychiatric disease. Enthusiasm for the adoption of these technologies is tempered by ethical dilemmas regarding resource allocation, provision of care, communication with patients and other providers, and other potential pitfalls. In the present work, we discuss bioethical implications of novel neurotechnologies for medical practice. In particular, we examine the implications of neurotec...

Interventional Psychiatry and Neurotechnologies: Education and Ethics Training
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s10-s16. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2023.27. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTThe last two decades have seen dramatic growth in the application of procedurally based interventions for treating refractory psychiatric conditions, leading to interest in developing the foundations for the subspecialty of "Interventional Psychiatry." However, there is cause for concern that the rate of expansion of clinical advances in this field may be outpacing the ability of postgraduate curricula to provide sufficient exposure to and teaching and supervision of these treatments. The paucity of adequately trained practitioner...

Neuromodulation and Opioid Use Disorder: Ethical Opportunities for Canada
Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Jun;50(s1):s26-s33. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2022.328. Epub 2023 May 10.ABSTRACTDespite increased efforts of government and non-government organisations to intervene via harm reduction and education initiatives, the opioid crisis has continued to worsen and has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In British Columbia, Canada, opioid overdose deaths in 2021 are the highest ever recorded. Neuromodulation procedures such as deep brain stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation have gained traction as treatments for opioid use disorder in various countries such as Germany, the Netherlands...
