Neuromodulation disseminates scientific and clinical information relevant to the field of neuromodulation. The journal's sole purpose is to advance the basic and clinical science of the field of neuromodulation. It publishes peer-reviewed, original, scientific works, scientific reviews, abstracts of papers accepted for review at national and international congresses, and past and future news of events and activities of the society and its membership. Because the science of neuromodulation transcends many disciplines such as anesthesiology, angiology, cardiology, neurology, neuroscience, rehabilitation medicine, and vascular surgery, the information presented varies widely.

THE INTERNATIONAL NEUROMODULATION SOCIETY REPORTS RECORD GROWTH IN PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE AT WORLD CONGRESS: Society's Milestones Parallel Major Progress in the Field of Neuromodulation
SAN FRANCISCO, (February 20, 2008) -- The International Neuromodulation Society (INS) announced today that it now represents a professional association of more than 1200 members worldwide, approximately twice as many members as recorded at the close of 2006. With a presence in 33 countries internationally, the INS also welcomed five new national chapters last year: Brazil,Canada, China, France and Korea.
'Our surge in membership reflects not only the tremendous progress that is taking place in the neuromodulation industry, but also an increased appreciation for the International Neuromodulation Society's dedication to its members and representation of the industry worldwide,' said Elliot S. Krames, MD, President of the INS and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Neuromodulation. 'The role of the INS is three-fold: to increase awareness and understanding of neuromodulation, to accelerate physician and patient access to therapies and to provide a forum for researchers, physicians, engineers and other key contributors to foster education for this fastest growing segment in medicine today.'
In addition to reporting its highest achievement in membership, the biennial INS World Congress in Acapulco, Mexico last December marked the Society's largest conference to date. Nearly 700 individuals representing 30 countries attended the five-day conference, and more than 260 poster and oral presentations covered the latest developments in neuromodulation. The 2009 World Congress is scheduled to take place in South Korea.
Also in 2007, the INS was named the Most Valuable Nonprofit Society by Neurotech Reports and was awarded the Golden Electrode Award at the 2007 Neurotech Leaders Forum. Additionally, the INS was a recipient of a grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a branch of the National Institute of Health (NIH), in support of its scientific meetings.
