Auricular vagus nerve stimulation, also known as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), is a non-invasive therapy delivering electrical pulses through ear electrodes for epilepsy, depression, and pain.
Cerebellar stimulation
Cerebellar stimulation is a neuromodulation technique applying electrical or magnetic pulses to the cerebellum, invasively or through the scalp, first implanted by Irving Cooper in 1972 to treat epilepsy, ataxia, and stroke-related motor impairment.
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) is a neuromodulation treatment delivering weak electrical current through electrodes on the eyelids, earlobes, or temples to treat anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation using helmet-like coils that reach deeper brain regions, cleared for depression, OCD, and smoking cessation.
Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation is the clinical use of electrical currents on nerves or muscles to relieve pain, produce muscle contraction, restore lost function, or test nerve and muscle excitability.
Functional electrical stimulation
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) applies electrical pulses to intact peripheral motor nerves to produce coordinated muscle contractions for useful movements such as walking, grasping, or cycling, used in spinal cord injury and stroke.
