The Neuromodulation Podcast

Dr. Alexios Carayannopoulos discusses the field of neurorehabilitation and its intersection with neuromodulation, addressing topics including his approach to multidisciplinary care and the importance of effective communication between specialists, accessibility of care, the impact of cultural barriers on patient outcomes, the process of device implant trials, and the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of the field.

Dr. Lisa Goodman, assistant professor and FWO postdoctoral researcher, discusses the importance of statistics in the medical field. Statistics is important in every facet of medicine, from evaluating the safety of new therapies to comparing treatment options in clinical trials. We explore the role of statistics in evidence-based medicine and precision medicine and offer guidance for clinicians to improve their understanding of statistical data to help make informed decisions and develop prediction models for personalized patient care.

Dr. Heather Pinckard-Dover, a neurosurgeon specializing in neuromodulation, shares her personal journey and passion for the field, offering insight for clinicians considering neuromodulation for their career path. She discusses the immediate impact and rewards of neuromodulation in improving patients' lives while also highlighting challenges such as U.S. insurance coverage and the importance of patient selection.

Neuromodulation is the interface between the nervous system and technology, and this episode explores how it can be used to treat a wide range of conditions and how patients can benefit. From awareness and accessibility to common misconceptions and his hope for the future of the field, this episode features Professor Lawrence Poree, MD, PhD, MPH, who addresses the importance of raising awareness about neuromodulation, as it is not widely taught in medical schools, which leads to a lack of awareness among both patients and physicians.
