Neurostimulation devices are programmable, implantable medical devices that provide electrical stimulation to exact parts of the brain of the patient, peripheral nervous system, or spinal cord to help treat different conditions like movement disorders, chronic pain, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease.

With awareness of the huge burden related to neurological disorders came the recognition that neurological devices and services were disproportionately lacking, particularly in low-income and developing countries. This led to growing investments by different governments in neurological research and development. In addition to this, according to the research report of Astute Analytica, the global Neurostimulation Devices Market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% during the forecast period 2022-2030.

• Neurostimulation can aid in easing chronic pain by interrupting pain signals from going to the brain. In doing so, neurostimulation can also help people to improve their quality of life and feel more comfortable.
• It also helps many people with neuropathic pain, which is constantly resistant to other treatments. This type of pain is caused by dysfunction or damage to the nervous system.
• It is capable of easing depression symptoms, in part by stimulating nerve cells in the brain. This can lead to an enhanced mood and a better quality of life.
• It helps in reducing anxiety by stimulating the nervous system, allowing people to feel more relaxed, and easing their anxiety symptoms.
• Some neurostimulation techniques, like transcranial direct current stimulation (DCS), help in increase focus by providing electrical current to the brain. This can be beneficial for those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or other focus-related issues.
• One of the other benefits of a neurostimulation device is that it can enhance sleep. This can be particularly helpful if people have insomnia or another sleep disorder.

Some neurostimulation techniques, like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), can help to enhance cognitive function by stimulating nerve cells in the brain. This can be beneficial for those with the disease of Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia and healthy people who want to keep their minds sharp.

It also helps to enhance gastrointestinal health, especially when it concerns vagus nerve stimulation. This is because neurostimulation can assist in stimulating the vagus nerve, which is accountable for controlling the digestive system. It also reduces gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. This can lead to improved overall health and quality of life. 

Advantages of neurostimulation devices

• Unlike other chronic pain surgeries or treatments, people can experience spinal cord stimulation and notice if it relieves their pain before devoting themselves to long-term therapy.
• It does not have to be a permanent process. The implanted neurostimulator can removed through surgery if people do not like it or if they choose to follow a different treatment.
• A neurostimulator may deliver relief when other treatments like injections or medication have not.

Neurostimulation relieves pain by disrupting the pain signals going back and forth between the brain and the spinal cord. In simple words, it outplays the pain of the patient.

Pain can intensify and move as people change positions. They can adjust the location and strength stimulation to address these shifts in pain with a handheld programmer.
