Associate Professor and Director of Chronic Pain Division University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Little Rock, Arkansas
Neuromodulation—the application of targeted electrical, chemical, and biological technologies to the nervous system—has been used for chronic pain for over 40 years. In the past few years, the field has exploded. Electricity has truly become medicine—with a combination of new wave forms with higher efficacy, closed loop technology that adjusts to patient position and physiology, restorative stimulation that can rebuilt vital core muscles, and targeted stimulation for focal pain diseases. This course will discuss all new technology in the space and pose the question, “We will all one day be bionic?”
