According to the International Neuromodulation Society, neuromodulation is a "technology that acts directly upon nerves" to alter or modulate nerve activity by "delivering electrical or pharmaceutical agents directly to the target areas. 

Neuromodulation methods can be invasive or non-invasive, as well as electrical, magnetic, or chemical. Some of these methods involve:

- Invasive Electrical Methods

- Non-invasive Electrical Methods 

- Non-invasive Magnetic Methods 

- Invasive Chemical Methods
