Medicine's Leonard H. Calabrese discusses vagus nerve stimulator and rheumatology

Healio: Leonard H. Calabrese, professor of medicine at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, explained how a new device is a turning point in the field of immuno-autonomics and the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory disease. “Our field must rapidly expand its working knowledge of neuroimmunology, a domain long underrepresented in rheumatologic training and research, and become fluent in both the science and the procedural aspects of this intervention,” said Calabrese.
