Plenary I will showcase the top-scoring late-breaking abstracts. Each late-breaking abstract presentation is followed by a live-stream Q&A with the moderator and the abstract's presenting author. This plenary session will conclude with the Presential Address and award aknowledgements.
Read more...Advances in the field of neuromodulation are increasingly dependent on integrating advanced technologies. During this session, we will explore two exceptional examples, including the advanced integration of robotics and neuromodulation for stroke rehabilitation and using advanced intracranial mapping and analytic techniques to understand how both depression and deep brain stimulation affect brain activity. This session will also highlight a major innovation in restoring movement in spinal cord injury.
Read more...During this session, we will explore the new hope for extending the indications for neuromodulation to new frontiers. In many cases, these breakthrough areas in neuromodulation are being funded by large investments by the NIH and other agencies. Key opinion leaders will review innovative new research and clinical trials being conducted in gastric, respiratory, and cardiac function. Also, investigating neuromodulation for off-label and orphan indications will be critically reviewed.
Read more...The placebo effect is a known aspect in the practice of medicine. In the clinical setting, it has been relegated to statistical confounds. In this session, we will discuss ways to identify and predict the placebo effect as well as brain connectivity that leads to placebo.
Read more...As hospitals and physician reimbursement becomes increasingly tied to outcomes, how we manage patients at greater risk of complications becomes paramount. In this session, we discuss risk mitigation strategies and the role of surgical policies to limit infection and revision rate.
Read more...This session will review existing spinal cord stimulation salient studies, examine deficiencies in prior studies, and propose a framework for future studies.
Read more...This session will focus on new studies on Spinal Cord Stimulation, and how to evaluate the data in the context of the quality of the research.
