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 ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Technology for Functional Electrical Therapy Applications
2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006Key to a successful application of functional electrical stimulation as a rehabilitation therapy (also termed functional electrical therapy or FET) is modular, portable, programmable, and versatile transcutaneous electrical stimulation technology. In this article a hardware platform, Compex Motion, that has been used successfully to develop numerous ...

Torque history of electrically stimulated human quadriceps: Implications for stimulation therapy
Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 1993AbstractThe time course of knee extension torque was measured in human quadriceps muscles during 30 min of transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Ninety subjects were divided into six experimental groups (n = 15 per group), which received stimulation at one of the following frequency/duty cycle combinations: 10 Hz/50%, 30 Hz/50 ...

Treating a pressure ulcer with bio-electric stimulation therapy
British Journal of Nursing, 2006Mr Jones lived independently until he developed necrotic pressure ulcers over his heels and could no longer mobilize to care for himself. He was transferred to a nursing home where he lived for 18months and where the nurses could care for his wounds.The wound had been on his right heel without changing over the 18months and, although attempts to ...

[Neuromuscular electric stimulation therapy in otorhinolaryngology].
HNO, 2014Animal experiments have shown that after specific nerve traumatization, neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) can promote nerve regeneration and reduce synkinesia without negatively interfering with normal regeneration processes. NMES is used routinely in physical rehabilitation medicine.This systematic literature search in the Cochrane Central ...
