What's the deal with Neuromodulation?

How Brain Stimulation Techniques like TMS and DBS are Used to Help People

What is Neuromodulation? 

For people afflicted with chronic pain there historically haven’t been many options for relief. However, there are non-invasive, evidence based clinical treatments that have emerged over the last several decades. This week, we’ll discuss neuromodulation as a concept and how it’s been applied in real clinical settings to improve people’s quality of life. 

Types of neuromodulation

Invasive Techniques

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

  • Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

Non-Invasive Techniques

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Real World Clinical Uses of Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation has been used to address the following:

  • Parkinson’s Disease

  • Major Depressive Disorder

  • OCD
