Implanted Electrodes and Microneedle Array Electrodes for the Neuromodulation

Abstract

In the human body, nerve conduction plays an important role. A range of physiological reactions and movements in the human body require nerves for transmission. Nerves realize the function of conduction by transmitting bio-electrical signals. If the nerves are damaged, the biological signals will not be transmitted, so the human body's reactions cannot be carried out, causing serious consequences. Neuromodulation is an effective treatment modality for patients with nerve damage. Neuromodulation has been proven to have effective therapeutic effects in various brain and neurological diseases. Among them, the electrodes in the neuromodulator regulate the abnormalities of the brain or neurons by releasing electromagnetic pulses, which are an important part of the whole device. However, various electrodes can be used for neuromodulation, and different electrodes have different characteristics from one another. In this study, several electrodes that can be used as wearable/implantable neuromodulators and their properties will be investigated and whether there is a relationship between them.
