Webinar - Update from the developers of the wearable wrist device
Professors Stephen and Georgina Jackson deliver an update on the research and clinical trial investigating the effects of median nerve stimulation on TS.
Neupulse have been researching the pathophysiology of TS and tic disorders for nearly two decades. During that time they have primarily used behavioural and state-of-the-art brain imaging and brain stimulation techniques to investigate: the neural processes that give rise to tics; the brain correlates of premonitory urges; and mechanisms of brain plasticity that might lead to the control or reduction of tics.
Find out more about the wearable wrist device that delivers electrical pulses to reduce the amount and severity of tics experienced by individuals with TS.
