Safety System Design Simulation for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator using Electrode Contact Test

Bio-Heat Transfer in Various Transcutaneous Stimulation Models

This study models the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on skin with a disk electrode in order to simulate tissue damage. The current density distribution above a disk electrode is known to be a dynamic and non-uniform quantity that is intensified at the edges of the disk. The non-uniformity is subject to change through using various electrode geometries or stimulation methods....

Unusual allergic contact dermatitis produced by a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator.

Science Behind Quell Wearable Pain Relief Technology for Treatment of Chronic Pain

Quell is a novel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for the treatment of chronic pain. It uses wearable intensive nerve stimulation to provide pain relief. The device is placed on the upper calf and includes sophisticated electrical stimulation technology, automation algorithms and electrode arrays. It may be used with an optional mobile app. This monograph covers scientific and technic...

An N-of-1 trial as an aid to decision-making prior to implanting a permanent spinal cord stimulator.

OBJECTIVE Limited evidence supports the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Therefore, it is crucial to assess the usefulness of this invasive procedure before implanting permanent electrodes in each patient. An N-of-1 trial is an experiment in which a single participant undergoes periods of comparative treatments. We illustrate how an N-of-1 trial design may permit clinicians to conduct...

Novel Thin Film Cuff Electrode for Neural Stimulation

One approach to reestablish disabled functions or to treat chronic diseases of patients is the electrical stimulation of nerves. This requires, in addition to special stimulator electronics, a dedicated electrode in close contact with the specific nerve. We present a new type of spiral self suing nerve cuff electrode capable of selective activating specific regions of a nerve hunk. The mfl cons...
