Objectives
By the end of this presentation, the audience participant should be able to:
- Describe how advances in electrical stimulation technologies expanded neuromodulation from focal effects to broader network-level physiologic modulation
- Explain the experimental and clinical evidence suggesting that spinal cord stimulation can influence cerebral blood flow regulation
- Discuss proposed neurophysiologic mechanisms linking spinal cord stimulation to central autonomic and vascular control pathways
- Evaluate how sensing-enabled neuromodulation systems may enable responsive physiologic modulation in future therapeutic applications
Target Audience
- Primary: Neurosurgeons, neurologist and other medical specialties
- Secondary: Nursing staff, residents, students and allied health professions
