Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation versus Traditional Dysphagia Therapy

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2005
Objectives: Recent investigations suggest that cervical transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) may be an effective treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the efficacy of TES to traditional dysphagia therapy (TDT) in treating persons with dysphagia and aspiration.

Electrical stimulation therapy in the treatment of cigarette smoking

Journal of Substance Abuse, 1998
In 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 ...

Electric stimulation and decimeter wave therapy improve the recovery of injured sciatic nerves

Neural Regeneration Research, 2013
Drug treatment, electric stimulation and decimeter wave therapy have been shown to promote the repair and regeneration of the peripheral nerves at the injured site. This study prepared a Mackinnon's model of rat sciatic nerve compression.

[Neuromuscular electric stimulation therapy in otorhinolaryngology].

HNO, 2014
Animal 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 ...

[Electric brain stimulation for epilepsy therapy].

Der Nervenarzt, 2004
Attempts to control epileptic seizures by electrical brain stimulation have been performed for 50 years. Many different stimulation targets and methods have been investigated. Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is now approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsies by several governmental authorities in Europe and North America.

Influence of electrical stimulation therapy on permanent pacemaker function

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2019
Electrical stimulation therapy (EST) and transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation (TENS), a modality of EST, have become widely applied, accepted and effective methods for the treatment of musculoskeletal and other pain conditions. According to the rising number of permanent pacemaker (PM) wearers the number of potential candidates for EST ...

Healing an intractable wound using bio-electrical stimulation therapy

British Journal of Nursing, 2005
Clinicians involved in the conservative care of chronic wounds have many treatment interventions from which to choose, including debridement/irrigation, dressings and pressure-relieving devices, to name a few. All are physical treatments that create an ideal wound healing environment. Unfortunately, many wounds heal very slowly, do not heal, or worsen.

Shocking therapy: Brief electrical stimulation for delayed nerve repair

Experimental Neurology, 2015
This commentary provides perspective on a recent paper published in Experimental Neurology by Elzinga et al. where the authors investigated the effect of brief electrical stimulation (ES) on nerve regeneration after delayed nerve repair in a rodent model. Their results from a well controlled series of experiments indicated that brief ES promoted axonal
