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 ...

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.

A Potential and Novel Therapy for Obesity: “Appendix” Electrical Stimulation in Dogs
Obesity Surgery, 2010Intestinal electrical stimulation (IES) has been introduced as a potential therapy for obesity. However, it is unknown whether the effects of IES on gastrointestinal motility and food intake are location-specific. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of "appendix" (cecum in dog) electrical stimulation (AES) on gastric tone, gastric emptying,

Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Dysphagia: Descriptive Results of Two Surveys
Dysphagia, 2007Given the paucity of objective information on neuromuscular electrical stimulation approaches to dysphagia therapy, and the expanding utilization of this clinical approach, we designed and conducted two surveys to gather large-scale information regarding reported practice patterns, outcomes, complications, and professional perceptions associated with ...

Asystole a Few Seconds After the Electrical Stimulation of Electroconvulsive Therapy
Psychosomatics, 2019Abstract Asystole during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) occurs occasionally and is potentially harmful. Asystole typically happens immediately after the electrical stimulation due to excessive parasympathetic nervous system activity by direct stimulation of the vagus nerve.

Shocking therapy: Brief electrical stimulation for delayed nerve repair
Experimental Neurology, 2015This 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

Fibromyalgia Benefits From Massage Therapy and Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1996Thirty adult fibromyalgia syndrome subjects were randomly assigned to a massage therapy, a transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), or a transcutaneous electrical stimulation no-current group (Sham TENS) for 30-minute treatment sessions two times per week for 5 weeks.
