The Neuromodulation Society of Australia & New Zealand

There has been a sudden change in requirement that requires significantly increased level of clinical evidence for the approval of updated Neurosurgical implantable pulse generators and leads. This will result in significant delay (up to 3 years at least) in gaining access to updated technologies for patients which can adversely impact their outcome. We believe that this is unreasonable given the proven safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation devices and the benefits of such devices in improving the lives of patients suffering from chronic pain.

Attached is a letter (I will place in comments) addressed to the Chair of the Medical Devices and Human Tissue Advisory Committee whereby A/Prof Marc Russo has requested a meeting to further discuss these requirements.

How to join NSANZ

NSANZ is a chapter of the International Neuromodulation Society (INS).

The International Neuromodulation Society

The Fastest-Growing, Worldwide Multidisciplinary Body Devoted to Building Knowledge of Neuromodulation.

The International Neuromodulation Society (INS) is a non-profit group of clinicians, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation – the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body.

The San Francisco-based INS was formed in 1989 and educates and promotes the field through meetings, its peer-reviewed journal (Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface), mentorship, and chapter websites. The INS also provides information for patients and produces rolling news briefs about this rapidly evolving field.
