Electrical Stimulation Therapy as Treatment for Poststroke Dystonia

The Journal of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2021
This case describes success using high-dose submotor threshold electrical stimulation (EStim) therapy for the management of dystonia in a chronic stroke patient. The authors find this novel EStim treatment is safe and offers the potential to manage poststroke dystonic movements.

Electrical stimulation as therapy for neurological disorders

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2006
This 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 ...

Effects of the combination therapy of electric field stimulation and polyethylene glycol in the ex vivo spinal cord of female rats after compression

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2021
The application of electric field stimulation (EFS) can reduce the cation influx after spinal cord injury. However, regenerated cation influx and reestablished injury potential are observed after EFS.

Experimental electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2005
Electrical 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 Surgeon’s Role in Gastric Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Gastroparesis

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2021
Gastroparesis, which can be viewed as a syndrome featuring nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and associated other symptoms and findings, is increasingly seen by surgeons. Gastroparesis is associated with a number of gastrointestinal anatomic and physiologic findings.This article reviews the use of bioelectric therapy of neuromodulation, via gastric

Venous leg ulcer healing with electric stimulation therapy: a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Journal of Wound Care, 2017
OBJECTIVE Compression therapy is a gold standard treatment to promote venous leg ulcer (VLU) healing. Concordance with compression therapy is, however, often sub-optimal.

Evidence Summary: Venous leg ulcers: Electric stimulation therapy

Wound Practice and Research, 2019
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are ulcers that occur on the lower leg due to venous disease. Application of electrical current to the wound through EST is thought to positively influence wound healing processes.1 Evidence from small randomised controlled ...

The role of electrical stimulation therapy in ophthalmic diseases

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2014
Electrical 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, 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 ...
