NMT’s core technology platform can be considered as a separate class of nerve stimulation than the invasive implantable neuromodulation devices or the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices. NMT’s Nerve Stimulation Technology has revolutionized the field of nerve stimulation science and the potential clinical applications by developing a mechanism of action that operates with a greater degree of pulse stimulation, and in an energy spectrum below the levels associated with other neuromodulation technologies. As a result, there are critical differences in NMT’s technology, its application, mechanism of action, and the end biological effect versus other neuromodulation devices.

The principal behind traditional neuromodulation medical devices is to block local nerve signals from reaching the brain with a high level of electrical stimulation. This action results in a nerve blocking phenomenon and corresponding localized analgesic effect (e.g., devices applied or implanted for the treatment of pain). However, negative side effects of this mechanism of action is that they also contribute to a high degree of discomfort and rapid nerve fatigue, which limits their use to fairly short application times (e.g., 15-30 minutes).

NMT’s Nerve Stimulation Technology provides a focused and controlled level of electrical stimulation to peripheral nerves. Rather than blocking or overloading the nerve signals, NMT’s technology and proprietary regulation software enhances the action of the nerve signals by positive modulation. This action by NMT’s technology results in the desired clinical effect.

NMT’s medical devices operate in the energy spectrum below the levels associated with neuromodulation Management devices. Using NMT’s patented pulse generator technology and proprietary software, a comfort level of stimulation can be achieved without creating nerve fatigue thus key nerve signals are in constant flow. This enables the patients to use NMT’s medical devices for significantly longer lengths of time and increased comfort by the user.
