For more than 50 years, transcutaneous electrical stimulation method has been used to cure the spinal cord injury, stroke or cerebral palsy. This works by activating excitable nerves, muscle fibers current through electrode skin interface. Electrode interface requires equivalent circuit overcome inability of measuring resistivity directly. We have learned several previous models, which are from...

Synopsis To investigate if motor cortical representation shows plastic change after short-term somatosensory stimulation, the brain activation during the right thumb movement was compared before and after transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) by using fMRI. The activation in the primary motor area (M1) decreased after the intervention with TENS. This reduction lasted for 30 min. The ...

Background: The gait pattern after stroke can be disturbed by foot drop. The conventional approach to the treatment of drop foot gait is a splint, the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). An active approach is functional electrical stimulation (FES). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) refers to electrical stimulation of muscles in order to improve the impaired motor function. This is achieved by act...

Urinary incontinence in women is a condition of high incidence and associated with an impact on quality life. Conservative treatment modalities are important resource the management this condition, since they can be prescribed based clinical diagnosis without need for additional tests. The present study aims to gather current evidence conservative available female published last 5 years. Conduc...

Background. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) could evoke parasympathetic activities via activating the brainstem autonomic nuclei, similar to the effects that are produced after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). VNS modulates immune function through activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Methods. VNS, ta-VNS, or transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation...

The safety and preliminary efficacy of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) for epilepsy was evaluated in a pilot feasibility study of transcutaneous stimulation of the infraorbital and supraorbital branches of the trigeminal nerve. TNS was well tolerated. Four (57%) of seven subjects who completed >or=3 months experienced a >or=50% reduction in seizure frequency. The results of this pilot study ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of different transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation frequencies in nociception front of a pressure pain threshold and cold in healthy individuals. METHODS Twenty healthy subjects were divided into four groups, all of which have gone through all forms of electrical stimulation at different weeks. Assessments were pre and post-therapy, 20 and 60 minutes...

Stimulation of different spinal cord segments in humans is a widely developed clinical practice for modification of pain, altered sensation, and movement. The human lumbar cord has become a target for modification of motor control by epidural and, more recently, by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. Posterior columns of the lumbar spinal cord represent a vertical system of axons and when a...

One of the common side effects Covid 19 is loss sense taste and smell. It thought that transcutaneous ear vagus nerve stimulation may affect smell as a result neural connections. We present 27-year-old female participant diagnosed with for more than 1 year. To test smell, Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center's odor testing procedure was applied. taste, 3 drops were determined durin...
