Sacral nerve stimulation, also termed sacral neuromodulation, is a type of medical electrical stimulation therapy.. It typically involves the implantation of a programmable stimulator subcutaneously, which delivers low amplitude electrical stimulation via a lead to the sacral nerve, usually accessed via the S3 foramen.
[1] [2] A recent scientific review (2024) has identified relevant hypotheses on the cellular-level processes underlying non-invasive neurostimulation. [3] Data analysis revealed that mitochondrial activity probably plays a central role in brain stimulation implemented by different approaches.
[1] [2] This device is implanted in the buttock and connected to the sacral nerve S3 by a wire. [3] The device uses sacral nerve stimulation to stop urges to defecate and urinate by sending signals to the sacral nerve. The patient is able to control their bladder and/or bowel via an external device similar to a remote control. [4]
The NeuroPace RNS system was approved for use by the FDA in 2013 and is the only medical device for epilepsy that uses responsive neurostimulation. [1] The device is surgically implanted into the patient's head with electrical leads placed near the site in the brain that is believed to be the origin of the patient's seizures.

TMS can be used clinically to measure activity and function of specific brain circuits in humans, most commonly with single or paired magnetic pulses. [8] The most widely accepted use is in measuring the connection between the primary motor cortex of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system to evaluate damage related to past or progressive neurologic insult.
