Electrical stimulation as therapy for neurological disorders
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2006This article outlines the basics of implantable neurological stimulators (INSs) and electrodes. Mechanisms of neural stimulation relevant to the clinician are reviewed, including the activating function, strength-duration relationship, and strength-distance relationship as well as safety considerations including safe charge and charge density levels ...

Experimental electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2005Electrical stimulation of the nervous system is an attractive possible therapy for intractable epilepsy, but only stimulation of the vagus nerve has been subjected to large, controlled, and completed clinical trials. Controlled trials are in progress for intermittent cycling stimulation of the anterior nuclei of the thalamus, and for cortical ...

The role of electrical stimulation therapy in ophthalmic diseases
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2014Electrical stimulation therapy (EST) involves the use of a low-intensity electrical current in the treatment of neuromuscular conditions. During the recent two decades, EST has emerged as a potential neuroprotective strategy in certain ophthalmic diseases, aided by a lack of effective management for these conditions.The aim of this review is to ...

Electrical stimulation therapy in the treatment of cigarette smoking
Journal of Substance Abuse, 1998In this study electrical stimulation therapy (EST) is explored as a possible new treatment for smoking cessation within a randomized controlled trial. The investigation follows reports of several authors that electrical stimulation applied to specific acupuncture points is effective in treating a variety of drug dependencies, including cigarette ...

Tachyarrhythmia therapy utilizing electrical stimulation: A review
Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1988The review is structured in such a way as to fall naturally into four main sections. These are as follows: clinical overview of the common mechanisms leading to the generation of tachyarrhythmias; commonly used sensing techniques and algorithms for the detection of tachyarrhythmias; electrical stimulation algorithms used to terminate many of the ...
