Conditions That May Be Treated with Neuromodulation
In appropriately selected patients, neuromodulation can be effective to modify nerve activity, delivering mild electrical stimulation or micro-doses of medication to specific areas to relieve pain or restore function. Information about new techniques under investigation is available in clinical trials listings on the Research page. Some conditions that may be treated with neuromodulation are listed, with appropriate links, on this page.
