Neuromodulation is a technology that acts directly on the nervous system, whether in the brain or in the spinal cord. It is the alteration (modulation) of the nerve activity by delivering electrical signals to a target area. Neuromodulation is currently used to treat and enhance the quality of life in individuals who suffer severe chronic illness due to persistent pain, spasticity, movement disorders, epilepsy, ischaemia, cardiac, bowel and bladder dysfunction, spinal injury, visual, auditory and specific psychiatric disorders...
What if we could replace drugs and their countless side effects with bioelectronic implants? The research in this area is accelerating quickly and Bristol is among the handful of pioneering centres all over the world driving it.
