restimulating

Sparking renewed activity

Restimulating means stimulating again—reactivating something that had quieted or subsided.

The term appears in therapeutic contexts where a past trauma or sensation gets triggered anew: The loud noise was restimulating her anxiety.

It also has straightforward physical uses: restimulating nerve pathways, restimulating economic growth.
