Abbott @ CES: The Neurolanguage Of Pain And Tremor: We Understand It.

Показать описание

Even in Las Vegas, you won’t catch Allen Burton claiming he can read your mind.

Still, he knows there’s a language your brain and your nervous system use to communicate throughout your body, like when a hand touches a hot stove.

But when that system is a little on the fritz, Burton knows our technology can disrupt those wayward signals — the ones causing chronic pain or movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and essential tremor — and get people back to a better life.

That’s what neuromodulation does. And Burton, our Medical Director for Neuromodulation, is fluent in it.

“So the last decade in neuromodulation has been extremely exciting. There’s been an explosion in neuroscience that is understanding the language that the nervous system uses internally to communicate,” Burton said. “At Abbott, we have harnessed that neurolanguage in our devices as we communicate with the nervous system, altering those pain signals into a state that is more normal in the nervous system, to where the patient feels that their pain or their movement disorder has simply improved so that their quality of life improves dramatically with the application of this energy.”

It might sound like a magic trick, some sleight of hand.

It’s not.

It’s real.
