The North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) is dedicated to advancing the field of Neuromodulation through clinical research, education, and print material within the United States while increasing the avenues of development for its members through professional networking systems, ongoing communication and other opportunities.

Neuromodulation is defined as the therapeutic alteration of activity in the central, peripheral or autonomic nervous systems, electrically or pharmacologically, by means of implanted devices.

At the present time, the devices are mainly "stimulators" and "pumps" and the major applications are in managing chronic pain, movement disorders, spasticity, and epilepsy. Neuroprosthetics, such as cochlear implants and sacral root stimulators are commonly included.

Clinicians, scientists and industry are united in this growing, diverse, multidisciplinary field, which delivers enormous benefits to patients by improving function and reducing suffering.
