Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an emerging class of medical therapies, neuromodulation uses implantable or non-implantable technology to change the activity of the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system or autonomic nervous system by means of electrical stimulation or drugs, so as to improve the symptoms of patients and improve their quality of life. Neuromodulation can be applied to many types of pain, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, mental disease, angina pectoris, irritable bowel syndrome and diseases caused by peripheral neuropathy. The field of neuromodulation has significantly advanced in the past few decades in both hardware and software capabilities. Those advances led to improvements in patient outcomes and a reduction in adverse events and complications. The advancement of the technology is continuous and moving fast. This Special Issue is intended to discuss new innovations in neuromodulation including implantable devices, non-implantable devices, pulsed radiofrequency ablation and more.
