invasive neuromodulation

Invasive neuromodulation involves surgically placing devices inside the body to influence the nervous system's activity. These devices, such as brain or nerve implants, deliver electrical signals or other stimuli to target specific areas. This approach is used to treat various neurological conditions like chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, or epilepsy when medications are insufficient. By directly modulating nerve or brain function, invasive neuromodulation can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and restore proper neural communication. It is a precise, targeted method requiring careful planning and surgical expertise.
