History
In 1989, after the first International Congress on Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation was held in the Netherlands, a group of physicians founded the INS in Paris, France. Their incentive was to bridge the gap between neurologists, neurosurgeons, vascular surgeons and cardiologists to build a multidisciplinary and international society dedicated to the advancement of neuromodulation.
