Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s Disease with three stimulation parameters: frequency, pulse width, and voltage. The parameters should be selected appropriately to achieve effective treatment. This selection now, performs clinically. The aim of this research is to study chaotic behavior of recorded tremor of patients under DBS in order to present a computati...

introduction abnormal neural impulses in the nervous system may lead to various diseases and disabilities. high frequency alternating currents (hfac) has been used to block the propagation of such impulses and improve the symptoms or disabilities. the technique is safe, reversible, and relatively selective, and its reliability, the optimum stimulation parameters, and elimination of the onset re...

BACKGROUND Repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in combination with object naming is able to elicit naming errors by stimulating language-related brain regions. However, stimulation results mainly depend on coil positioning and stimulation parameters, which have not been investigated since the implementation of neuronavigation to transcranial magnetic stimulation. There...

Transcutaneous afferent patterned stimulation (TAPS), also referred to as non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation, at the wrist provides a promising option for management of essential tremor. This new wrist-worn neuromodulation method avoids risks surgical interventions and can be easily used home. TAPS therapy is indicated aid in temporary relief hand tremors following adults with No serious...

introduction: high frequency alternating currents is a safe, reversible and selective method for nerve conduction block that has been under study during the last decade as a treatment for the diseases involving abnormal neural impulses. however, reducing the stimulus amplitude, and the undesired onset response, as well as optimizing the stimulus parameters for more effective block is still unde...

Commentary Under ideal circumstances, basic science research precedes clinical adoption of a technology. The reverse path has tended to prevail with deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy. After pioneering work in use of DBS for psychiatric conditions by Heath and Delgado, the New York neurosurgeon Irving Cooper was the first to use the technology to treat clinical epilepsy (1). Two recent m...

introduction: the claustrum interconnects with the allocortical and neocortical regions and also projects to the hippocampus and the amygdala. .the role of claustrum in the complex partial seizure is not clear. thus in this study the effect of amygdala lesion on anterior claustrum kindled seizures in rat were investigated. methods: male wistar rats, weighting 250-300 g, were received dc current...

mechanoreceptors of foot sole likely contribute in the reflex regulations. stimulation of these receptors in the lateral aspect of the foot is corresponded to the lateral plantar division of the tibial nerve. therefore, it was hypothesized that repetitive low threshold afferents stimulation would have an inhibitory effect on the soleus h-reflexes. methods: sixteen normal subjects voluntarily pa...
