Not all programs are appropriate for all populations • Recommended Next Steps • Review resources provided here • If considering, use these resources to find a trained professional near you. • Make an appointment for an evaluation to see if you are a candidate • Commitments of self, family/caregiver • Time • Out of pocket cost and/or reimbursement • Medical Professional Monitoring • Peripheral nerve damage or skin damage • Device Maintenance Zapping the Pain Away: Technology and Pain Management www.NeurotechNetwork.org

- The given definition collectively by the industry is (read definition) Before computers & cell phones, Mother Nature discovered that electrical signals provide the most efficient means of relaying information within the body. Without electrical signals, neurons could not communicate to allow us to see, hear, smell, touch, taste, move or think. Neurotechnology uses technology with the body to capitalize on the natural electrical signals to record neural signals or to excite neural cells. Health and Economic Impact: These are some of the resulted impact of using technology. This list is a collection from a variety of applications. Impact to an individual is dependent on the device, therapy, treatment and specific user circumstances.
- http://projects.hsl.wisc.edu/GME/PainManagement/session2.4.html Nociceptive: represents the normal response to noxious insult or injury of tissues such as skin, muscles, visceral organs, joints, tendons, or bones. Examples include: Somatic: musculoskeletal (joint pain, myofascial pain), cutaneous; often well localized Visceral: hollow organs and smooth muscle; usually referred Inflammatory: a result of activation and sensitization of the nociceptive pain pathway by a variety of mediators released at a site of tissue inflammation. Examples include appendicitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and herpes zoster. Neuropathic: pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or disease in the somatosensory nervous system.Sensory abnormalities range from deficits perceived as numbness to hypersensitivity (hyperalgesia or allodynia), and to paresthesias such as tingling. Examples include, but are not limited to, diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injury pain, phantom limb (post-amputation) pain, and post-stroke central pain. According to the Neuropathy Association, there are more than 100 types of neuropathy. Approximately 30% of neuropathies are of unknown origin. Roughly another 30% of neuropathies are diabetic neuropathies Understand that classification of pain is not black and white and there is still pain that is not well understood. The Pathological processes never occur in isolation and more than one mechanism may be present and more than one type of pain. There are well-recognized pain disorders that are not easily classifiable. Our understanding of the causes of these disorders is still vague even though therapies to treat them are well known. Examples such as cancer pain, migraines and fibromyalgia.

- TENS units (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and Percutaneous Neuromodulation Units (PENS) work by delivering low level electrical stimulation through electrodes placed directly on the skin of the affected area. The electrical stimulation delivered through the skin may help alleviate pain by blocking pain messages being sent to the brain. MET works the same way but uses very different waveforms, frequencies and pulse widths. Both systems require a physician prescription but this therapy can provide a convenient means of treating some forms of pain. Both are non-invasive and can be an economical solution.

- Implanted Drug Delivery Systems (IDDS), also known as Intrathecal Analgesia Therapy, refers to the administration of medicine, either pain-relieving or spasticity-relieving, such as baclofen, by a medication delivery pump. Typically for those for whom other treatements are not effective or side effects are difficult to tolerate. The IDDS include a chamber or reservoir for the drug that delivers the medication through a catheter directly into the spinal canal (intrathecal). The pump needs to be refilled, usually once every few months, by placing a needle through the skin. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis or during a regular doctor’s visit. Generally, a person first undergoes a trial of the medication by an intrathecal injection. If successful, a pump system can be implanted permanently through a surgical procedure. IDDS reduce the need for oral medications, can be more effective and is now a mainstay of therapy for intractable pain including neuropathic pain and spasticity
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) system is a hybrid system comprised of implanted electrodes in the spine and an external control unit. It uses electrical stimulation to block the pain pathways to the brain that travel through the spinal cord. SCS has also been known to decrease spasticity. An initial trial is needed to see if effective results can be achieved. If the trial is successful, a permanent system may be implanted. The user has the ability to keep the system on permanently or as needed. NOTE ON CONSUMER SUPPORT GROUPS
- Anodyne Therapy - Anodyne® Infrared Therapy Systems are medical devices that are indicated to increase circulation and reduce pain, stiffness, and muscle spasm. The Fisher Wallace Stimulator™ is an external and portable stimulation for insomnia, anxiety, depression and pain therapy. It works by stimulating the brain's production of serotonin, GABA and beta-endorphins.
- Neuros Medical - Developing Nerve Block technology for chronic pain. The Neuros Altius System consists of an implantable generator with an integrated rechargeable battery, cuff electrode, lead extension, and external devices (Clinician Programming Wand, Patient Controller and Charger). neuroma/residual limb pain, chronic post surgical pain, and chronic migraine: **Investigational** just released latest clinical trial data from European trials rTMS Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the cerebral cortex is a noninvasive strategy that could have the potential to relieve severe chronic pain, at least partially and transiently. The most studied target of stimulation is the precentral (motor) cortex, but other targets, Analgesic effects have been produced by rTMS in patients with neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia or visceral pain. Therapeutic applications of rTMS in pain syndromes are limited by the short duration of the induced effects, but prolonged pain relief can be obtained by performing rTMS sessions every day for several weeks. In patients who respond to rTMS but relapse, surgical implantation of epidural cortical electrodes and a pulse generator can be proposed to make clinical effects more permanent. The rate of improvement produced by rTMS may be predictive for the outcome of the implanted procedure. The place of rTMS as a therapeutic tool in the management of chronic pain remains to be determined. tDCS Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive procedure in which a device sends a small Direct Current (DC) across the scalp to modulate brain function. The Soterix Medical 1x1 tDCS Low-Intensity Stimulator sends a low-level current from the positive electrode, anode, to the negative electrode, cathode. When the extremely low level current passes from the anode to the cathode, it may simultaneously increase the activity of the brain by the anode and decrease the activity of the brain near the cathode.tDCS mechanisms are considered to result from the ability of very weak DC currents to safely induce reversible changes in cortical plasticity. psychiatric disorders.
- American Academy of Pain Management - The American Academy of Pain Management is an inclusive, interdisciplinary organization serving clinicians who treat people with pain through education, setting standards of care, and advocacy. American Chronic Pain Association - The American Chronic Pain Association was founded in 1980 by Penney Cowan in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. American Pain Foundation - Raising public awareness, providing practical information, promoting research, and advocating to remove barriers and increase access to effective pain management. National Chronic Pain Outreach Association - purpose is to lessen the suffering of people with chronic pain by educating pain sufferers, health care professionals, and the public about chronic pain and its management.
