Stimulation of neural activity in a nerve supplying the spleen, wherein the nerve is adjacent to the splenic artery at a position where the splenic artery is not in direct contact with the pancreas, can modulate pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules levels, thereby reducing inflammation and providing ways of treating disorders, such as disorders associated with inflammation. The invention provides improved ways of reducing inflammation with minimized off-target effects, in particular surgical trauma.

Treatment of disorders associated with inflammation

Modulation of the neural activity of a nerve adjacent to the left gastro epiploic artery (LGEA) and/or a nerve adjacent to a short gastric artery (SGA) can modulate the neural activity of the sympathetic nerves that impact splenic function. This is useful for reducing inflammation and providing ways of treating inflammatory disorders.
