Objective-To determine the effect of Electroacupuncture and Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation on Regeneration of Sciatic Nerve in Dog   Design - Experimental in vivo study. Animals - A total of 15 adult male mixed bred dogs, weighing 26±2.6 Kg/BW with aging of 42±6 months, which were divided into three groups of  5 dogs. Procedures-Under general anesthesia, the right sciatic nerv...

nerve stimulation on two occasions, double blind and in random order, with a single intravenous dose of saline or with a single intravenous dose of50 mg naloxone. Treatment with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation increased tolerance to pacing and significantly improved lactate metabolism with placebo and with naloxone. The positive effects oftranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ...

BACKGROUND The therapeutic value of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to reduce sleep-disordered breathing is unclear. METHODS Contraction of the genioglossus muscles during transcutaneous stimulation was investigated using ultrasonography in 11 healthy subjects (seven men, mean [SD] age 30 [6] years; BMI, 24.2 [3.5...

The influence of naloxone on the effects of high frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in angina pectoris induced by atrial pacing was studied in 11 patients with severe coronary artery disease. The patients were catheterised and treated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on two occasions, double blind and in random order, with a single intravenous dose of saline o...

BACKGROUND Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current have been widely used in clinical practice. However, a systematic review comparing their effects on pain relief has not yet been performed. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current on acute and chronic pain. METHODS We use Pubmed, Embase, L...

INTRODUCTION Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a possible adjunctive therapy to pharmacological treatment for controlling pain after total knee arthroplasty. However, the results are controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to explore the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on patients with total knee arthroplasty. METHODS PubMed, Embas...
