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

Influence of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on heterotopic ossification: an experimental study in Wistar rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2015 Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a metaplastic biological process in which there is newly formed bone in soft tissues, resulting in joint mobility deficit and pain. Different treatment modalities have been tried to prevent HO development, but there is no

Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing
