Field distribution of epidural electrical stimulation
Epidural electrical stimulation has been applied in clinics for many years. However, there is still a concern about possible injury to spinal nerves. This study investigated electrical field and current density distribution during direct epidural electrical stimulation. Field distribution models were theoretically deduced, while the distribution of potentials and current were analyzed. The curr...
متن کاملEffect of Contour Shape of Nervous System Electromagnetic Stimulation Coils on the Induced Electrical Field Distribution
BACKGROUND Electromagnetic stimulation of the nervous system has the advantage of reduced discomfort in activating nerves. For brain structures stimulation, it has become a clinically accepted modality. Coil designs usually consider factors such as optimization of induced power, focussing, field shape etc. In this study we are attempting to find the effect of the coil contour shape on the elect...
متن کاملModel for Electrical Field Distribution in the Human Esophagus during Stimulation with Patch and Ring Electrodes
Introduction. Electrical stimulation is used in experimental human pain models. The aim was to develop a model that visualizes the distribution of electrical field in the esophagus close to ring and patch electrodes mounted on an esophageal catheter and to explain the obtained sensory responses. Methods. Electrical field distribution in esophageal layers (mucosa, muscle layers, and surrounding ...
متن کاملElectrical Field Stimulation-Mediated Relaxation of Rabbit Middle Cerebral Artery
The effects of electrical field stimulation (EFS) of rabbit middle cerebral arteries were examined using wire-mounted arterial segments. EFS of segments maintained at rest tension caused a tetrodotoxinsensitive sympathetic contraction. In agonist-contracted segments maintained at approximately 60% of tissue maximum force, EFS caused a relaxation in two thirds of the preparations. Maximum respon...
متن کاملENDOGENOUS RELEASE OF OPIATES BY REPETITIVE ELECTRICAL FIELD STIMULATION IN THE GUINEA-PIG AND RAT ILEAL LONGITUDINAL MUSCLE
The effect of repetitive electrical field stimulation and the response of the guinea-pig and rat ileal longitudinal muscle to single pulse stimulations was examined. Single pulse field stimulation produced twitch contraction which was inhibited by repetitive field stimulation (10 Hz, 40V, 0.5 msec for 5 m). This inhibition was largely, though never completely, reversed by naloxone. Contrac...
