Description:The Common Fund’s Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program accelerates development of therapeutic devices that modulate electrical activity in nerves to improve organ function. This therapeutic strategy, also known as “bioelectronic medicine,” could offer new treatment options for diverse diseases and conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, gastrointestinal disorders, and more.
Dcc Name:Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions
Dcc Description:To transform our understanding of nerve-organ interactions by providing access to high-value datasets, maps, and computational studies with the intent of advancing bioelectronic medicine towards treatments that change lives. The SPARC program is supported by the NIH Common Fund to accelerate development of therapeutic devices and identification of neural targets for bioelectronic medicine—modulating electrical activity in nerves to help treat diseases and conditions, such as hypertension and gastrointestinal disorders, by precisely adjusting organ function.
