Atypical Applications of Neuromodulation for Non-Painful Conditions.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThis narrative review explores the expanding applications of neuromodulation beyond pain management, focusing on its use in treating non-painful conditions such as heart failure, renal failure, spinal cord injuries, overactive bladder syndrome, and cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative diseases. RECENT
findingsNeuromodulation techniques, including dorsal root ganglion stimulation, sacral neurostimulation, and deep brain stimulation, have shown promising results in various non-painful medical conditions: Heart and Renal Failure: Dorsal root ganglion stimulation induces diuresis in diuretic-resistant patients, offering a novel approach to managing fluid overload. Spinal Cord Injuries: Epidural spinal cord stimulation and brain-spine interfaces have demonstrated the potential to restore motor function, enhancing mobility and quality of life for paralyzed individuals. Overactive Bladder Syndrome: Sacral neurostimulation and tibial nerve stimulation have proven effective in improving urinary continence and reducing symptoms in patients unresponsive to conventional treatments. Cognitive Impairment in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Techniques such as deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation are being investigated for their ability to enhance cognitive and motor functions in conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The review highlights the transformative potential of neuromodulation in non-painful conditions, demonstrating its ability to address complex medical issues beyond its traditional scope. Continued research and optimization of these techniques may lead to broader therapeutic applications and improved patient outcomes.
