International Neuromodulation Society Information

A nonprofit group of clinicians, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation. Neuromodulation is a reversible medical therapy that manages symptoms of some chronic pain conditions or neurological disorders by restoring nervous system balance, often using minimally invasive methods. The technique works by eliciting a natural biological response to nerve stimulation, such as through delivering a mild electric pulse from a small pacemaker-like device, or by applying small doses of pharmaceutical agents directly to the site of action. The INS educates and promotes the field through meetings, chapters, web content, and its bi-monthly, peer-reviewed journal Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface that is indexed in MEDLINE and focuses entirely on basic and clinical science of neuromodulation.
