Neurostimulation

Neurostimulation is catching the worlds attention and in particular the medical advancement and scientific industries. Neurostimulation devices are increasingly being used to help with pain management. Each year an estimated 100 million people worldwide suffer from chronic pain. The current solution to treat chronic pain is mostly drugs. In the long run drugs are increasingly proven to not help consistently. Currently, neurostimulation devices have begun test trials to treat chronic pain. These trials are undergoing for disorders such as epilepsy, obesity, Parkinson's disease, depression, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular disorders, movement disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, urinary tract disorders, sensory disorders and drug addiction. People are still hesitant to have a device inserted into their bodies but the test and trials that they are undergoing, seem to be promising.

            This idea of having an electronic device placed into our bodies does seem a bit scary, however we are practically doing the same thing when we consume a pill. Drugs are often abused and addictive when treating chronic diseases and disorders. I think that electronic devices will become less scary as technology advances and a few brave individuals begin to show positive side effects to this neurostimulation devices. As our society advances and technology slowly and steadily increases, so will peoples perceptions of these devices.
