Neurostimulation Tech

Transforming neurological care with innovation

Overview

Neurostimulation refers to therapeutic techniques that use electrical or magnetic stimulation to modulate the nervous system.These neurostimulation technologies encompass a range of medical devices and techniques designed to modulate neural activity through electrical and magnetic stimulation. These technologies are primarily used for therapeutic and treatment purposes, addressing various neurological and psychiatric disorders by targeting specific areas of the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. Neurostimulation is one “tool” within the larger neuromodulation “toolbox,” and common applications include the treatment of chronic pain, epilepsy, depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other movement disorders.

What is neurostimulation?

A discussion on neurostimulation must begin with neuromodulation. Neuromodulation refers to using various methods to influence the nervous system's activity for therapeutic purposes. These methods include electrical and magnetic stimulation, medication, and surgery. The objective of neuromodulation is to reduce or alleviate symptoms associated with various neurological and chronic conditions and/or to improve or restore function in the nervous system.
Neuromodulation is used to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. It promises relief and improved quality of life for people with chronic pain, neurological conditions (such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy), movement disorders (voluntary and involuntary movements, including swallowing difficulty following a stroke), and mental health conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). It may also be used in neural prosthetics for hearing aids, artificial vision, and artificial limbs.

The advantages of using neurostimulation techniques have contributed to the growth of their use in the treatment of various neurological conditions. These include their minimally invasive nature, the ability to personalize treatment, and the potential for faster recovery times and fewer complications.
Some advantages of using neurostimulation techniques
The two main types of neurostimulation are (1) electrical, which offers non-invasive and invasive approaches, and (2) magnetic, which is limited to non-invasive techniques. Invasive approaches involve surgery and can target specific regions of the nervous system. Non-invasive techniques, on the other hand, are generally less powerful than implanted ones but offer the advantages of being non-surgical and having fewer side effects. In addition, they are usually only approved for use in clinics, and patients may need to be treated several times a week for a given period.
