Neuromodulation Therapy

Overview

Neuromodulation therapy is a type of treatment that uses techniques to alter nerve activity in the body. This treatment aims to help manage or relieve chronic pain, neurological disorders or other health conditions by regulating the activity of nerves. By applying specific techniques, neuromodulation aims to correct or enhance the natural bioelectric signals in the nervous system.

Why Neuromodulation Therapy Treatment is Required?

• Helps when traditional treatments do not work.
• Useful for managing chronic pain and movement disorders.
• Helps with neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and epilepsy.
• Improves nerve function and bioelectric signals in the body.

Key Advantages of Neuromodulation Therapy Treatment

• Provides relief from chronic pain.
• Improves movement and control in neurological conditions.
• Non surgical and minimally invasive.
• Personalised to suit individual needs.
• Helps improve the quality of life.

How Should You Prepare Yourself Before Taking Neuromodulation Therapy Treatment?

• Discuss medical history with doctor.
• Inform doctor about any current medications, especially neuromodulatory medications.
• Understand the procedure, risks and benefits before starting.
• Follow any specific instructions given by doctor, like fasting or stopping certain medications.

How Neuromodulation Therapy Treatment is Performed?

• Involves using a neuromodulation device to deliver electrical pulses to nerves.
• Can be done with devices like spinal cord stimulators or deep brain stimulators.
• Targets specific nerves or areas of the brain to regulate signals.
• Most treatments are quick and done in a healthcare facility.

What You Can Expect Before, During, and After the Procedure?

• Before: You may need to follow specific instructions like stopping certain medications or fasting.
• During: The procedure is done in a healthcare setting, and you will likely be awake. The device is positioned and the therapy begins.
• After: Mild discomfort or a sensation at the treatment site may occur. Follow up visits are necessary to adjust settings and check progress.

Risk and Potential Complications

• Risk of infection at the implant site.
• Possibility of device malfunction or displacement.
• Temporary discomfort or numbness.
• Rare allergic reactions to devices or medications.
• Mild nerve irritation may occur.

Results/Outcomes

• Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved movement.
• Results can take time with gradual improvements seen over weeks or months.
• Long term follow up is needed to track progress and adjust the device.
