Activity-based recovery training with spinal cord epidural stimulation improves standing performance in cervical spinal cord injury

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Individuals with a clinically complete spinal cord injury are unable to stand independently without external assistance. Studies have shown the combination of spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) targeted for standing with activity-based ...

Spinal cord stimulation: An emerging strategy for chronic pain relief after spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research
Chronic pain following a spinal cord injury refers to pain that persists or recurs after the injury. This pain can manifest as burning, stinging, or sensations similar to electric shocks.

Spinal cord stimulation. [PDF]

Minerva anestesiologica, 2006
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation technique using electricity, proposed for the first time by Shealy in 1967, as an alternative to neuroablation. Technological improvements in the last 20 years (percutaneous electrodes, single and dual leads, octopolar electrodes, high energy internal pulse generators) have allowed to obtain good ...

Robotic trunk perturbation magnitude affects standing postural responses in individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury receiving epidural stimulation

Scientific Reports
After a severe spinal cord injury (SCI), the human spinal circuitry receiving epidural stimulation can generate lower limb postural responses to sensory inputs associated with trunk perturbation.

Central nociceptive sensitization vs. spinal cord training: Opposing forms of plasticity that dictate function after complete spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
The spinal cord demonstrates several forms of plasticity that resemble brain-dependent learning and memory. Among the most studied form of spinal plasticity is spinal memory for noxious (nociceptive) stimulation.

Spinal motor mapping by epidural stimulation of lumbosacral posterior roots in humans

iScience, 2021
Summary: Epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is an emergent strategy for the neurological recovery of lower-extremity motor function. Motoneuron pools are thought to be recruited by stimulation of posterior roots.

Spinal cord stimulation trial can control pain caused by chronic limb-threatening ischemia

JPRAS Open
Background: Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia experience long-duration pain during ulcer treatment. Hence, painkillers are gradually increased, but adverse events often occur.

Maladaptive spinal plasticity opposes spinal learning and recovery in spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Synaptic plasticity within the spinal cord has great potential to facilitate recovery of function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Spinal plasticity can be induced in an activity-dependent manner even without input from the brain after complete SCI.

Brain fMRI during orientation selective epidural spinal cord stimulation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) is widely used for chronic pain treatment, and is also a promising tool for restoring motor function after spinal cord injury.
