About Bioelectronic Implantable Devices (Prod 2006125)

The novel treatment involves a pacemaker-style bioelectronics device that is implanted in the patient's neck. The device rests against the Vagus nerve, which connects the brain to all the major organs, and is responsible for many automatic body functions such as breathing and heart rate. The device, which the patient activates with a magnet sends bursts of electrical impulses for three minutes a day, into the nerve. These impulses relay signals to the brain to reduce the number of immune cells produced by the body's vital organs (specifically the spleen), that travel between joints and cause the abnormal inflammation. The team also noted that such bioelectronic implantable devices have the potential to treat inflammatory bowel disease, hypertension, the airway spasms of asthma, obesity and restore normal insulin production in diabetes patients.
