We explore a novel approach to spinal surgery that allows patients to go home the same day. We share a new study investigating if vagus nerve stimulation can help people with opioid addiction, and we feature the research of a VA physician scientist who is using neuromodulation to help Gulf War veterans manage chronic pain.
