neurostimulator
A neurostimulator is a small device implanted in the body that sends electrical signals to specific nerves or regions of the brain. Its purpose is to help manage certain medical conditions, such as chronic pain, epilepsy, or movement disorders, by modifying nerve activity. The device works by delivering controlled pulses that can reduce symptoms or improve function. It is typically programmed and adjusted externally by a healthcare professional and can often be turned on or off as needed. Neurostimulators are a minimally invasive way to influence neural activity and enhance quality of life for patients with specific neurological issues.
