GRUPO FENNSI

EXPLORACIÓN FUNCIONAL Y NEUROMODULACIÓN DEL SISTEMA NERVIOSO

Somos un grupo de investigadores clínicos y básicos cuyo interés principal es el estudio y la investigación de la fisiología, así como la aplicación clínica de técnicas no-invasivas de neuromodulación del sistema nervioso. Además, realizamos evaluaciones funcionales del sistema nervioso central y periférico en trastornos neurológicos, como es la lesión medular. Todo ello con el objetivo final de la translación a un entorno clínico. El laboratorio cuenta con toda el equipamiento necesaria para poder llevar a cabo dichos abordajes

LÍNEAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN

  • Physiological evaluation and development of NIBS techniques, performing non-invasive stimulation of the cerebral cortex by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS)

  • Study by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging

  • Application of neuromodulation techniques (tDCS, rTMS, tSMS) in neurodegenerative pathologies, chronic pain, spinal cord injury, migraines and fatigue

  • Study of clinical and neurophysiological aspects of spinal cord injury in humans

  • Development of assessment protocols for patients with spinal cord injury

  • Clinical trials on patients with spinal cord injury or patients with drug-resistant chronic pain

  • Study of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in central fatigue (in healthy volunteers, in patients with spinal cord injury and in patients with multiple sclerosis)

  • Treatment of central fatigue in spinal cord injury using cannabinoid receptor antagonists/inverse agonists. Carried out in collaboration with the Molecular Neuroprotection Group (GNPM) of the HNP. This project is financed through an agreement with the company Samos Medical Enterprise S.L.U.

  • Clinical trials in spinal cord injured patients with fatigue
