Research Overview

The treatment of mental health disorders using pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy are plagued with limitations such as therapy-related adverse effects, and inability to provide effective remission. This has driven the use of neuromodulation techniques for managing these conditions. However, these traditional neuromodulation therapies have their share of drawbacks including invasive profile and therapy-related complications, that have necessitated the development of novel neuromodulation methods that can provide effective relief from mental disorders for the patients, while at the same time are non-invasive, safe, and tolerable.

This growth opportunity-technology (GO-TE) report highlights the innovations in non-invasive neuromodulation technologies being implemented for treating mental health conditions, including transcranial electrical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, cranial electrotherapy stimulation and other therapies such as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, trigeminal nerve stimulation, and multi-channel simultaneous stimulation.The scope of this GO-TE is global. This GO-TE studies some of the path breaking innovators in this space and their technology readiness levels. The report also discusses the funding, partnerships, and emerging growth opportunities.
