Electrical Stimulation and Magnetic Stimulation*

2023
With respect to lower urinary tract dysfunctions, electrical stimulation (ES) is applied, particularly to the pelvic floor muscles, bladder, and sacral nerve roots. The ES of the pelvic floor aims at stimulating motor fibres of the pudendal nerve, which may elicit a direct contraction of the pelvic floor muscles or the striated peri-urethral ...

Extracochlear Electrical Stimulation

Artificial Organs, 1989
Abstract: Twelve patients with sensorineural hearing loss were stimulated by a transtympanic electrode contacting the cochlear promontory. Nine of them were tested to study hearing perception associated with various features of electrical signals, using an auditory electrical stimulator. Biphasic pulse bursts and sine‐wave bursts were used as stimuli.

Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1986
To the Editor .—I was pleased to read that Dr Dobie has explored electrical tinnitus suppression, as reported in the July 1986 issue of theArchives, 1 but his success rate was extremely poor and could be attributed to a placebo effect. I would like to offer a word of caution and advice to researchers in the field of electrical treatment, not just for ...

Electrical Stimulation and Language

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1994
Electrical stimulation has been used for over half a century in clinical settings to facilitate the surgical treatment of patients with intractable seizures and cortical structural lesions. It should be employed as the final result of a stepwise process in patient management but, when called for, can be very accurate in localizing critical functional ...

Extracochlear Electrical Stimulation

Scandinavian Audiology, 1984
Extracochlear electrical stimulation was carried out in 7 patients. We used square-wave signals. Electrode positions at the oval and round window showed the lowest current thresholds. The threshold of sound sensations elicited by electrical stimulation was higher in the high frequency than in the low frequency range.

Electrical Stimulation of Osteogenesis

Southern Medical Journal, 1984
The three electrical stimulation systems available for treating nonunion of long bones are successful in approximately 85% of cases. The percutaneous direct current bone growth stimulator is partially invasive, allows patient mobility, can be used with magnetic fixation devices, and can be monitored for proper function, but it requires an operation ...

Functional electrical stimulation

Physiological Measurement, 1997
In the health-care professions, electrical stimulation is used for three purposes: to aid diagnosis; as a therapeutic tool; and to restore lost or damaged functions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and functional neurostimulation (FNS) are terms which are more or less interchangeable, and which encompass the third of these purposes.

Functional electrical stimulation

Artificial Life and Robotics, 2000
Percutaneous intramuscular electrodes and a portable multichannel system were used to restore the function of paralyzed upper and lower extremities in spinal cord injuries and hemiplegic patients. The hybrid functional electrical stimulation (FEC) using percutaneous intramuscular electrodes provides practical ambulation for paraplegics.

An Electrical Stimulator for Sensory Substitution

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
This work presents an electrical stimulator system for use in sensory substitution (SS), as a mobility aid for visually handicapped people. The whole system passes visual information via cutaneous stimulation, and consists of a webcam, a PC, dedicated hardware to generate stimuli and a 15 x 20 electrode matrix.

Electrical stimulation for stress incontinence

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1998
Electrical stimulation has been reported to be effective for stress incontinence, cure and improvement rates being reported to range from 30% to 50%, and from 6% to 90%, respectively. However, clinical application of this treatment is not common because there is little physiological and technical information.
