Background and Identification<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

Nerve stimulators are devices used in Therapeutic Neuromodulation, which is \u201cthe alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body\u201d according to the International Neuromodulation Society<\/a>. Essentially, the practice seeks to normalize or modulate nervous tissue function in the patients treated by it. While this can be accomplished chemically with a subdural injection, there are also devices which can produce these stimuli electromagnetically. Nerve stimulators are used to treat medication-resistant epilepsy, chronic migraines, or as functional therapy to treat a range of issues from bodily control to sensory deficits.<\/p>\n\n
