Abstract

Neuromodulation is the process in which several classes of neurotransmitters in the neurvous system regulate diverse populations of neurons. The neuromodulation in neurosurgery represents the the process in which an artificial devices change the nervous system.

The main neurmodulatory methods for the treatment of chronic pain are described, these areperipheral subcutenous field stimulation (PSFS), peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), spinal cord stimulation (SCS), occipital nerve stimulation (ONS), motor cortex stimulation (MCS). History, pathophysiology, indication and result are described.

In the thesis, we present the future possibilities of neuromodulation based on the findings of science and research.
