Upcoming Neuromodulation Event

6th Brazilian Congress of Neuromodulation

Conference

August 11-12, 2023 | Sao Paulo, Brazil


Overview

The Sociedade Brasileira de Neuromodulação, which represents the Brazilian chapter of the International Neuromodulation Society, aims to bring together a multidisciplinary group of professionals who deal with neuromodulation. Our program will be filled with lectures covering both invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation modalities, industry symposia and workshops.
Neuromodulation has been increasingly used for the benefit of our patients. Let's catch up and discuss the science that drives it. The congress will be exclusively in person. Come to São Paulo to socialize and exchange ideas with national and international opinion leaders. We look forward to seeing you all in São Paulo, at what will be the biggest Brazilian neuromodulation event in 2023.
