Frequency of Phantom Pain among patients with Spinal Cord Injury
Summary: Background: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) usually have permanent and often devastating neurologic deficits and disability and pain (1). According to the National Institutes of Health, "among neurological disorders, the cost to society of automotive SCI is exceeded only by the cost of mental retardation"(2). Neurogenic pain constitutes one of the enigmatic clinical sy...
متن کاملReview of Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Augmenting Cough after Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a debilitating condition for which there is no cure. In addition to loss of somatic sensorimotor functions, SCI is also commonly associated with impairment of autonomic function. Importantly, cough dysfunction due to paralysis of expiratory muscles in combination with respiratory insufficiency can render affected individuals vulnerable to respiratory morbidity. ...
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation: does frequency matter?
243 August 2013 S PINAL cord stimulation was first described in 1967 in an intriguing case report provided by Shealy et al.1 This first case involved the relief from cancerrelated pain using a surgically implanted electrode sutured to the dura to provide stimulation of the dorsal columns. Although the entire treatment was only for approximately 1 day before the patient’s demise, stimulation usi...
متن کاملElectrical activation to the parasternal intercostal muscles during high-frequency spinal cord stimulation in dogs.
High-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF-SCS) is a novel technique of inspiratory muscle activation involving stimulation of spinal cord pathways, which may have application as a method to provide inspiratory muscle pacing in ventilator-dependent patients with spinal cord injury. The purpose of the present study was to compare the spatial distribution of motor drive to the parasternal interco...
متن کاملReview of hybrid exoskeletons to restore gait following spinal cord injury.
Different approaches are available to compensate gait in persons with spinal cord injury, including passive orthoses, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and robotic exoskeletons. However, several drawbacks arise from each specific approach. Orthotic gait is energy-demanding for the user and functionally ineffective. FES uses the muscles as natural actuators to generate gait, providing not...
