MUSC leads breakthrough in precision neuromodulation to transform brain recovery for millions

(BPT) - New precision neuromodulation techniques are redefining what's possible for neurological recovery, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made a substantial investment to support the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in leading a national effort. MUSC now stands at the forefront of groundbreaking research with the potential to transform recovery from stroke and neurological conditions.

More than 795,000 Americans experience a stroke every year. Millions more face other neurological injuries and diseases, including Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury and depression. For many, the hardest part begins afterward: trying to regain movement, speech and independence and return to a good quality of life. It's estimated that more than 13 million Americans are navigating recovery from these conditions — often while coping with lasting disabilities. For decades, research has focused on prevention or emergency treatment, not rebuilding lives in the months and years that follow.
