ABSTRACT

Bioelectronic medicines represent an innovative approach to chronic disease management by leveraging the peripheral nervous system’s signaling mechanisms to modulate organ functions. These devices, known as electroceuticals, employ electrical impulses to interact with specific organs, offering a targeted and dynamic alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. This paper explores the historical development, underlying principles, biological basis, and clinical applications of bioelectronic medicines. Focusing on neurological and metabolic disorders, we highlight recent advancements and clinical trials that demonstrate the potential of bioelectronic interventions to transform chronic disease treatment. The conclusion addresses the implications for healthcare, emphasizing the promise and challenges of integrating these technologies into standard medical practice.

Keywords: Bioelectronic medicines, Electroceuticals, Chronic disease management, Neuromodulation, Peripheral nervous system.
