Enhanced Tearing by Electrical Stimulation of the Anterior Ethmoid Nerve
Purpose Electrical neurostimulation enhances tear secretion, and can be applied to treatment of dry eye disease. Using a chronic implant, we evaluate the effects of stimulating the anterior ethmoid nerve on the aqueous, lipid, and protein content of secreted tears. Methods Neurostimulators were implanted beneath the nasal mucosa in 13 New Zealand white rabbits. Stimulations (2.3-2.8 mA pulses...
متن کاملElectronic enhancement of tear secretion.
OBJECTIVE To study electrical stimulation of the lacrimal gland and afferent nerves for enhanced tear secretion, as a potential treatment for dry eye disease. We investigate the response pathways and electrical parameters to safely maximize tear secretion. APPROACH We evaluated the tear response to electrical stimulation of the lacrimal gland and afferent nerves in isofluorane-anesthetized ra...
متن کاملTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for chronic low-back pain.
BACKGROUND Chronic low-back pain (LBP) affects a significant proportion of the population. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was introduced more than 30 years ago as an adjunct to the pharmacological management of pain. However, despite its widespread use, the usefulness of TENS in chronic LBP is still controversial. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review was to determi...
متن کاملTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for chronic post-herpetic neuralgia.
Postherpetic neuralgia remains a therapeutic challenge for the clinician. Many modalities have been utilized with limited success. In this pilot randomized study of patients who were refractory to previous medicinal treatment, the patients were treated with transcutaneous nerve stimulation with a biofeedback capability. After every two treatments with the sham and true device, the patients were...
متن کاملFunctional Electrical Stimulation vs
Fourteen Spinal Cord Injured (SCI) and 15 Ablebodied (AB) individuals participated in two 30 minutes (min) standing sessions. The control groups (SCICONT, ABCONT) consisted of both AB and SCI standing still with no muscle contraction. The experimental groups consisted of both SCI subjects (SCIEXP) standing with use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)-induced muscle activation of four low...
