1. Modeling Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation alleviates back pain without long-term effects, but electrode systems need to be reprogrammed often due to scarring, through trial-and-error
COMSOL is used to simulate the scarring and model the effect on the electrodes for more accurate and quicker reprogramming with reduced pain

Build geometry in SOLIDWORKS®, transfer it to COMSOL to simulate, and adjust geometry in SOLIDWORKS® to repeat
