UW-Madison Multiple Sclerosis Research at the TCNL:

Cranial-Nerve Non-Invasive NeuroModulation (CN-NINM) stimulates the brain to self-recover functionality lost to injury or disease. Many neurological diseases involve the brain-stem, which regulates numerous functions in the brain and body. Brain-stem structures are important for movement, attention, sleep-wakefulness, sensory-motor coordination, and control of unconscious body functions. This is one reason why brain-stem damage, for example due to MS, can cause so many kinds of symptoms.

CN-NINM improves function of the damaged brain by sending millions of nerve pulses from the tongue to the brain-stem, at the same time with special challenge exercises. The tongue pulses help the brain to adapt to the challenges. With time, effort, and CN-NINM stimulation, the parts of the brain surrounding damaged areas self-adjust their function so that overall brain function becomes more normal.
