Medtronic plc, a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced that it will highlight clinical and pre-clinical research relating to sensing-enabled spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy at the 26^th Annual North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) meeting, taking place January 12-15, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, Medtronic and its partners will present new research on SCS for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), Differential Targeted Multiplexed™ SCS endurance therapy, and digital health.

SCS sensing technologies rely on ECAPs (Evoked Compound Action Potentials), or signals generated by the spinal cord in response to electrical stimulation. Poster and oral scientific data presentations at NANS will highlight early clinical data and patient experience of sensing-enabled stimulation technologies.

Scientific Presentations

The following poster and oral scientific data presentations reflect evidence from Medtronic-sponsored research and collaborations with external partners. Poster presentations will be available to all attendees with an option to query the presenters throughout the conference.
