Migraine Market Offers Promise for Wearables and Implants
Migraine remains one of the most common and disabling neurological disorders worldwide. Despite the introduction of new pharmacologic treatments—including CGRP monoclonal antibodies and gepants—a substantial proportion of patients continue to experience inadequate symptom control, intolerance to medications, and desire non-pharmacologic treatment options. Neuromodulation for the treatment of headac…
Transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stim Targets Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea is a complex condition frequently seen in patients with heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Unlike the physical blockage seen in obstructive apnea, CSA is driven hypersensitivity. This creates unstable respiratory control, leading to repetitive breathing pauses that cause hypoxia, oxidative stress, and chronic insomnia. While CPAP machines are highly effective for obstructive sleep apnea, they generally fail to address the underlying mechanisms of CSA.

Neurotech Industry Panelists Offer Views at NANS i3
At the 2026 meeting of the North American Neuromodulation Society in Las Vegas, Neurotech Reports editors, in conjunction with Nandan Lad from Duke University, produced a pre-conference workshop devoted to neurotech commercialization. The i3 program, which stands for invention, investment, and invigoration, is an opportunity for the neuromodulation community to explore business topics that aren’t generally covered in the meeting’s scientific sessions..
Vendors Report Progress with Cortical Visual Prosthetics
The road to developing a viable visual neuroprosthetic system to restore sight has been long and difficult. But several vendors remain in the game and much of the activity involves cortical stimulation approaches. At last month’s NANS annual meeting, Nader Pouratian, professor and chair, department of neurological surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center, presented long-term results from the Orion…
Neurorehabilitation Vendors Advance Stroke Therapies
The market for stroke rehabilitation continues to advance as existing players and new entrants offer novel therapeutic approaches and pursue commercial development. There appears to be room in this space for vendors of both implanted and noninvasive neurotech therapies. Earlier this month, CorTec GmbH, a European manufacturer of active implantable medical technologies, announced the successful seco…
Tibial Nerve Stimulation Firms Jostle for Priority
Competition in the market for tibial nerve stimulation systems to treat overactive bladder continues to intensify in the months following Boston Scientific’s, announcement to acquire Valencia Technologies [BBR Jan26 p6]. Earlier this month, Medtronic, which already competes with Boston Scientific in the implanted sacral nerve stimulation market, published positive results for its Altaviva TNS system in The Journal of Urology.
Neurotech’s Ancestors
The ethical issues surrounding the use of animals in clinical trials and scientific experiments has been a source of controversy since the early days of medical research. For the neurotechnology industry, animal research—and primate research in particular—has been at the forefront of public awareness. The treatment of monkeys used ’s firm Neuralink generated a considerable amount of negative publicity a few years back.
Columbia University Spinoff Raises Stakes in BCI Market
The market for brain-computer interfaces continues to attract new entrants and new technologies, fueled in large part venture capital investment in the space. The latest U.S. entrant in this market is a spinoff from Columbia University called Kampto Neurotech. The company plans to commercialize a flexible, subdural brain implant with 65,000 electrodes and 1,024 channels. Fabricated as a single chip…
