Neuromodulation has the capacity to address acute and chronic effects of COVID-19
The ICNC was established in early 2020 in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and the realization that many critically ill patients suffering from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, were experiencing systemic hyperinflammation, organ failure, shock, and death.
MISSION
Provide global leadership for the rapid advancement and clinical adoption of neuromodulation technologies to treat emerging infectious diseases.
VISION
A global infrastructure capable of the rapid deployment and clinical validation of neuromodulation technologies for pandemics, epidemics, and other emerging public health crises for which they may be efficacious.
