Neuromodulation KOL Interview

February 05, 2015

Key Highlights
  • Neurostimulation Devices for Chronic Pain:
  • There are reasonably high failure rates and little differentiation between products.
  • Neurostimulation Devices for Spinal Cord Injury:
  • Devices can amplify signal and have modest improvements, but there is no clear device winner in the space.
  • Transcranial Stimulation for Major Depressive Disorder and Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease:
  • The circuitry for depression is not clearly defined and neuromodulation will be more effective in disease with better understood circuitry such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's Disease.
  • Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Tinnitus:
  • Vagal nerve stimulation increases cortical plasticity and can help recuperate function in diseases like tinnitus.
  • Stem Cells for Parkinson's Disease:
  • Early stem cell successes are likely to come from diseases that need cell replacement, such as as diabetes and Parkinson's Disease. Diseases involving the need for functional integration will be a higher bar to reach.
