About this episode

In this episode of The Neuromodulation Podcast, host Mandi Soleil speaks with Dr. Erika Petersen, functional neurosurgeon and Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, about the evolving role of neuromodulation in painful diabetic neuropathy.

Dr. Petersen delves into why this condition remains so difficult to treat with medications alone, and how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is expanding therapeutic options for patients with limited relief.

You’ll also hear insights on patient selection, device optimization, MRI considerations, peripheral versus spinal approaches, and how emerging tools like remote monitoring and AI may shape the future of care.
