Neurostimulation
Neurostimulation is a medical technique that uses electrical impulses to influence the activity of the nervous system. This method can help manage various conditions, such as chronic pain, epilepsy, and depression. Devices like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are commonly used to deliver these impulses, targeting specific areas of the brain or nervous system.
The goal of neurostimulation is to restore normal function or alleviate symptoms by modulating neural activity. It is often considered when other treatments, such as medication or therapy, have not provided sufficient relief. Ongoing research continues to explore its potential applications and effectiveness.
