Our Mission in Research

The European Neuropathy Foundation (ENF) supports high-impact scientific research aimed at understanding, diagnosing, and treating complex neuropathic conditions, with a special focus on pelvic nerve disorders, neurofunctional dysfunctions, chronic neuropathic pain, and bioelectronic innovatioons that shape the future of patient care.

Our goal is simple: to bring real, measurable improvments to patients' lives through evidence-based research and translational breakthroughs.

Our Scientific Priorities

Pelvic Neuropathies

   - with treatment of causes not only of symptoms with innovative diagnostic methods, imaging limitations, Doppler-based detection, and minimally invasive nerve decompression strategies

   - Understanding the neurobiology of pain chronification and central senzitization, immune-neural interactions, and personalized treatment pathways for complex pain disorders

​

Neurofunctional Pelvic Disorders - including bladder dysfunctions (overactive bladder, incontinence..), bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, pelvic autonomic dysregulation, and complex neurofunctional syndromes (IC...)

​

Spinal Cord Injury - including axon regeneration, cortico-spinal/vagal plasticity and rehabilitation

​

Bioelectronic Medicine & Preventive Medicine - including neuromodulative treatments of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, dementia/Parkinson, depression with AI-assisted neural interfaces and precision bioelectronic approaches to restore function

​

Translational Clinical Research that connect basic science with real clinical outcomes, improving diagnostics, procedures and long-term patient recovery

Ongoing & upcoming Programs

Clinical Research in Pelvic Nerve Entrapment 

Studies evaluating vascular entrapment, autoimmune/connective tissue diseases associations, positional pain patterns, and innovative ultrasound-doppler diagnostics.

​

Innovation in Bioelectronic Medicine Development of next-generation neuromodulation strategies that move beyond sacral stimulation, offering safer, more precise, patient-tailored interventions, and suitable in Women Health 

​

Education & Scientific Dissemination  

Workshops, webinars, certifications, and international collaborations with experts in neuropelveology, neuromodulation, neuroscience, and pain medicine

​

Fellowship & Training Pathways

Programs to support youn surgeons and clinicians interested in pelvic nerve surgery, neuropelveology, and advanced bioelectronic medicine

PROGRAMS WE SUPPORT

A growing portfolio of research, innovation and education initiatives supported by the European Neuropathy Foundation.

Clinical Research

Clinical Research & Diagnostic Innovation

Projects focused on improving early diagnosis, imaging, and clinical pathways for pelvic neuropathies, including vascular entrapment studies, AI-based diagnostics, and outcome monitoring.

Neuromodulation
& Bioelectronic Medicine

Initiatives supporting advances in GNS, LION, and autonomic-system stimulation, including next-generation technologies in collaboration with NeuroGyn and academic partners.

Education & Training

Education, Workshops & Fellowships

Support for ISON Level 1–3 training, cadaver workshops, international observerships, and fellowships that expand global expertise in neuropelveology.

Patient Support

Patient Support & Global Awareness

Programs designed to increase public awareness, improve patient education, support access to expertise, and reduce the delayed diagnosis that many patients face.

Why Our Work Matters

Millions of patients live with undiagnosed or untreated neuropathic conditions. By supporting pioneering research and new therapeutic pathways, ENF brings hope, clarity, and solutions to those who need them most. 

​

AT ENF, WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION SAVES LIVES.

By supporting pioneering research, we accelerate progress in neuropathy, neuropelveology, and bioelectronic medicine - creating a future where patients receive the CARE, DIGNITY, and RELIEF THEY DESERVE.
