Mesh electrode for peripheral nerve stimulation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implanted peripheral nerve stimulator has a role for pain relief in well-selected patients with pain in a peripheral nerve distribution. We describe an electrode to help simplify the surgical implantation of a peripheral nerve stimulator and also to reduce the possibility of electrode migration following implantation. Design details of the electrode are discussed, as are notes on surgical technique.

The vagus nerve (VN), the longest cranial nerve and an essential part of the parasympathetic system, connects the central nervous system to respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems and is involved in the maintenance of homeostasis by controlling these systems. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is related to any method that would stimulate the vagal nerve via elec...

Macro-sieve electrodes were implanted in the sciatic nerve of five adult male Lewis rats following spinal cord injury to assess the ability of the macro-sieve electrode to interface regenerated peripheral nerve fibers post-spinal cord injury. Each spinal cord injury was performed via right lateral hemisection of the cord at the T9-10 site. Five months post-implantation, the ability of the macro...
متن کاملA comparative study on soleus H reflex parameters using vertebral column and peripheral nerve stimulation
Although low-threshold transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a modality used for control of pain, but its effect in the control of spasticity and change of excitability of a motor neuron is controversial. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 15-min tripolar TENS of vertebral column and bipolar TENS of common peroneal nerve (300 µs width, 50 Hz) on synap...

Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) and percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) are therapies that combine the features of electroacupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). PENS is performed with a few needle electrodes while PNT uses very fine needle-like electrode arrays that are placed in close proximity to the painful area to stimulate peripheral sen...
