Innovations in Neurostimulation Therapies for Chronic Pain Management
Abstract
Chronic pain is a significant healthcare challenge affecting millions worldwide, often resistant to conventional treatments. Neurostimulation therapies have emerged as promising alternatives, offering relief to patients with various chronic pain conditions. This article reviews recent innovations in neurostimulation techniques, including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation, highlighting their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and potential applications. The discussion also explores advancements such as closed-loop systems and non-invasive modalities, assessing their impact on improving pain management outcomes. Through a comprehensive analysis of current research and clinical trials, this paper underscores the
evolving landscape of neurostimulation therapies and their role in addressing the complex nature of chronic pain.
