While this may remain true for now, advances in the development of neuromodulation devices suggest that they can offer another avenue of treatment that may provide relief to patients who experience intolerable side effects or limited benefits from drugs, therapy, and lifestyle changes.Neuromodulation uses mechanical, electromagnetic, or electrical stimulation to modify the functioning of central, peripheral, or autonomic nervous systems.
Neuromodulation may seem like an experimental or alternative treatment, but its theoretical framework is the same as that which undergirds conventional drug treatments. All brain activity is a combination of electrical and chemical communication, and
