"Wearable disposable electrotherapy" @NatureComms A new class of non-invasive electrical stimulation used like a band-aid. Stick on a mm-thick patch & a single \ dose delivered. No electronics=environmentally benign. Scalable manufacture=pennies per device

...Melzack was a neurophysiologist; the gate manifest as a slow potential - an evoked signal detected consistently across classical preclinical and human studies. Can modern SCS re-discover the "pain gate signal"?

A great discussion with Matteo Cucchi @BioelDrop
We start general but go deep.
1) How do we advance brain stimulation treatments without complete (or correct) mechanisms? 👇

2) How do we target brain regions: invasive, non-invasive superficial (TMS, HD-tDCS), and non-invasive deep (such as Temporal Interference).
3) What is the relationship between endogenous electric fields and low-intensity brain stimulation?

Our new systematic review and meta-analysis is available online: Long-Term Pain Reduction and Explantation Rates of Spinal Cord Stimulation
Summary: 3 years after permanent SCS implantation, an estimated 44.7% of patients undergone explantation or reported < 50% pain reduction

Why are drug therapies so ubiquitous compared to brain stimulation?
We argue in the American Journal of Psychiatry that the relatively limited use of brain stimulation in current psychiatric practice (especially as a first-line therapy) compared to pharmacotherapy is driven by..
..differences in access & usability, not efficacy or tolerability.
W propose as class of devices "Wearable Disposable Electotherapy" to bridge access to brain stimulation.

New youtube lecture: How do non-invasive electrical stimulation electrodes work? Across all applications (from TENS to tDCS), all non-invasive electrodes have 2 parts: a metal part & the salty part. This talk explains why & how the parts are configured.

It was my special privilege to award the #NANS2026 award to Dr. Cameron McIntyre. Who has helped shape the entire field of computer-driven neuromodulation design (including volume of tissue activated and "sweet spots") and model-personalized brain stimulation...
A big congrats to Dr. Cameron McIntyre, inaugural recipient of the Distinguished Service in Science & Technology Award—a well-deserved honor for his incredible work 🏆 #NANS2026 @MaromBikson
