Abstract

We have chosen the title “Neuromodulation: Medicine Evolving Through Technology,” to emphasize our field’s transformative force on the treatment of disease states – how it is approached now and will be approached in the not too distant future. We see almost daily reports in the mainstream media of innovation in the area of neuromodulation treating not only pain, but many conditions of the cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, urological and other systems.  This meeting will mark an important time for our field.
