SPARC is the first facility in Canada to provide these opportunities for patients living with chronic pain, as well as clinicians and researchers specializing in pain management.

Welcome to the Centre of Excellence for Neuromodulation and Neurorestoration (COE NM-NR)

The COE NM-NR is a virtual platform to help build a community of practice around non-invasive neuromodulation and neurorestoration. This centre of excellence is a platform that enables clients, clinicians, researchers, and industry to connect, engage and learn from one another. In addition to building a community of practice, this environment will enable end-users (consumers) to identify potential clinicians and organizations in their community from whom they can access these treatments.

What is Non-invasive Neuromodulation?

Non-invasive Neuromodulation is electrical stimulation delivered to the brain, muscles, spinal cord or peripheral nerves to improve function. This stimulation is applied transcutaneously (through the skin) by electrodes applied to the surface of the skin. Non-invasive stimulation differs from invasive stimulation in that the stimulator/electrodes do not need to be surgically implanted in the brain, spinal canal, muscle or nerve.

Neuromodulation is defined as a field of science, medicine, and bioengineering that encompasses implantable and non-implantable technologies, electrical or chemical, for the purpose of improving quality of life and functioning of humans, by the international neuromodulation society (Krames et al., 2009).
