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 ...

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 ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation versus Traditional Dysphagia Therapy
Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2005Objectives: 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.

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

[Electric brain stimulation for epilepsy therapy].
Der Nervenarzt, 2004Attempts 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, 2019Electrical 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, 2005Clinicians 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.
