Abstract

The field of medicine has already benefited significantly from technological innovation. One of these developments is Bioelectronic Medicine (BME), which combines molecular medicine, neuroscience, engineering, and computing to create a device capable of diagnosing and treating disorders. Numerous scientific web data sources were gathered and analyzed for this study to produce useful and practical results. Although BMEs are used to treat over twenty diseases, this study focuses on five difficult conditions: paralysis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, CNS problem and injury, and hypertension, as well as their notable BME treatment outcomes. Small, implantable devices that can be linked to a specific nerve can decode and modify neural signaling patterns, resulting in therapeutic effects specific to an organ’s signal characteristic without potentially dangerous drugs. Thousands of clinical trials and studies have been conducted on animal models and humans with the goal of neuromodulation, such as cracking, reading, and regulating ‘Vegas nerve’ signals to treat paralysis or the closed-loop bioelectronic device known as the intermittent vagal blocker for diabetic management, among others. Additionally, there have been remarkable and positive outcomes. These discoveries could be applied to the development of more effective treatments for several ailments.
