Electrical stimulation therapy for peripheral nerve injury

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Peripheral nerve injury is common and frequently occurs in extremity trauma patients. The motor and sensory impairment caused by the injury will affect patients' daily life and social work. Surgical therapeutic approaches don't assure functional recovery,

The modulatory effect of electrical stimulation on the excitability of the corticospinal tract varies according to the type of muscle contraction being performed

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Afferent input caused by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve increases corticospinal excitability during voluntary contractions, indicating that proprioceptive sensory input arriving at the cortex plays a fundamental role in modulating ...

Biology of muscle atrophy and of its recovery by FES in aging and mobility impairments: roots and by-products

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015
There is something in our genome that dictates life expectancy and there is nothing that can be done to avoid this; indeed, there is not yet any record of a person who has cheated death.

Electrical carotid baroreceptor stimulation [PDF]

Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2014
The Barostim neo ™ system is a novel implantable device that activates the carotid baroreflex. It decreases the sympathetic activity and inhibits the renin system, which results in reduced blood pressure and heart rate. In patients with resistant hypertension, electrically activation of the baroreflex leads to an average decrease in systolic blood ...
