Beyond Pain: Role of Neuromodulation in Treating Non-Pain Syndromes Featured
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Saturday, January 25
Neuromodulation is one of the most promising technologies in modern day medicine. Clinical applications for this technology have focused on treating pain and movement-related disorders, but there are a growing number of novel indications for neuromodulatory therapies. The role of neuromodulation in treating cardiovascular disorders, sequelae of spinal cord injury, tremors, and other refractory conditions will be discussed in this session.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the potential of intrathecal infusions in treating hypertension.
- Illustrate the potential of spinal cord stimulation in addressing sensory-motor and autonomic deficits following spinal cord injury.
- Describe emerging applications for deep brain stimulation including treatment of pain and cognitive decline.
- Explain the role of peripheral neuromodulation in treating tremors and overactive urinary bladder.
