neurostimulator
Neural impulse device
A neurostimulator is an implanted medical device that delivers electrical impulses to specific nerves or areas of the brain or spinal cord.
Used to treat chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions, it works by interrupting or modifying abnormal nerve signals: The neurostimulator reduced her tremors significantly.
