  • Pre-Conference Workshop: Neuromodulation Techniques


    "Neuromodulation Techniques"


    Thursday, August 21, 2025

    9:00 am - 5:00 pm 


    With Dr. Petros Kattou, DO


    Neuromodulation is emerging as a revolutionary, non-invasive approach for managing chronic, neurological, and mental health conditions. This hands-on workshop, led by SOZO Brain Center’s expert medical team, will provide physicians with the knowledge and practical skills to integrate neuromodulation techniques into their clinical practice. 


    This seven-hour intensive workshop will cover: 

    • Introduction to Neuromodulation – Understanding its physiological mechanisms and applications in treating chronic conditions, including chronic kidney disease, pain management, neurodegenerative disorders, and mental health conditions. 
    • Scientific Evidence & Protocols – Reviewing the latest clinical research on transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS), and Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS). 
    • Live Demonstrations & Hands-On Training – Physicians will observe patient case studies and practice applying neuromodulation devices on each other under expert supervision. 
    • Clinical Integration & Business Applications – Learn how to implement neuromodulation treatments in your practice, optimize patient selection, and enhance treatment efficacy. 

    By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: Identify the neurological and physiological mechanisms of neuromodulation. 

    • Demonstrate proper device application and treatment protocols. 
    • Recognize patient indications and contraindications. 
    • Develop customized treatment plans based on patient needs. 
    • Understand how to incorporate neuromodulation into their practice for enhanced patient care. 

    Who Should Attend? This workshop is designed for physicians of all medical specialties looking to expand their treatment arsenal with non-invasive, drug-free and evidence-based neuromodulation techniques. GPs, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Pain Management Specialists, Functional Medicine Doctors, Nephrologists, Integrative Medicine Practitioners, and more will benefit from this cutting-edge training. Join us at the ICIM Conference in Atlanta to gain first-hand experience in neuromodulation and elevate your practice with the latest advancements in brain stimulation technologies.
