Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
, 2017 In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

The science of electrical stimulation therapy for fracture healing
Indian Journal of Orthopaedics, 2009 This article is a brief review of the basic science research conducted in the field of electrical stimulation for fracture healing. Direct electrical current, capacitive coupling, and inductive coupling have been studied as potential techniques to enhance fracture healing through the proliferation and differentiation of osteogenic cells.

A computational model for real-time calculation of electric field due to transcranial magnetic stimulation in clinics [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of this paper is to propose an approach for an accurate and fast (real-time) computation of the electric field induced inside the whole brain volume during a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) procedure. The numerical solution implements the

Electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve: a potential therapy
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014 Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent episodes of pharyngeal collapse, which result from a decrease in pharyngeal dilator muscle tone. The genioglossus is a major pharyngeal dilator that maintains airway patency during sleep. Early studies in animal and humans have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of this muscle reduces ...

Electrical stimulation therapies for spinal fusions: current concepts [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2006 Electrical stimulation therapies have been used for more than 30 years to enhance spinal fusions. Although their positive effects on spinal fusions have been widely reported, the mechanisms of action of the technologies were only recently identified.
