About
By 2035, neuromodulation is expected to evolve from static, anatomy-based stimulation toward AI-driven closed-loop systems, hybrid multisite targeting, and network-guided personalization. This session will examine how advances in computational modeling, digital biomarkers, and multimodal stimulation strategies may redefine patient selection, programming, durability of response, and value-based care in chronic pain management.
