Transcranial electrical stimulation [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a neuromodulatory technique in which low voltage constant or alternating currents are applied to the human brain via scalp electrodes. The basic idea of tES is that the application of weak currents can interact with neural processing, modify plasticity and entrain brain networks, and that this in turn can ...

Physical exercise in Aging: Nine weeks of leg press or electrical stimulation training in 70 years old sedentary elderly people

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, reducing force generation and mobility in the elderlies. Contributing factors include a severe decrease in both myofiber size and number as well as a decrease in the number of motor neurons ...

Effects of Electrical Stimulation on Skeletal Muscle of Old Sedentary People

Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 2018
Physical activity plays an important role in preventing muscle atrophy and chronic diseases in adults and in the elderly. Calcium (Ca 2+ ) cycling and activation of specific molecular pathways are essential in contraction-induced muscle adaptation.

Do Electrical Stimulation Devices Reduce Pain and Improve Function?—A Comparative Review

Pain and Therapy, 2023
Background Multiple forms of electrical stimulation (ES) potentially offer widely varying clinical benefits. Diminished function commonly associated with acute and chronic pain lessens productivity and increases medical costs. This review aims to compare

Phase dependent modulation of tremor amplitude in essential tremor through thalamic stimulation [PDF]

, 2013
High frequency deep brain stimulation of the thalamus can help ameliorate severe essential tremor. Here we explore how the efficacy, efficiency and selectivity of thalamic deep brain stimulation might be improved in this condition.
