Treating a pressure ulcer with bio-electric stimulation therapy
British Journal of Nursing, 2006 Mr 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electric stimulation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of nonunions
Injury, 2006Up to 10% of the fractures occurring annually in the U.S. end up in non-union or delayed union. Classical treatment with osteosynthesis and bone grafting is not always successful. Alternatives in treatment have long ago been considered. This article presents current concepts in treatment with electrical stimulation and hyperbaric oxygen, the mechanisms
