Spinal Cord Excitability and Sprint Performance Are Enhanced by Sensory Stimulation During Cycling
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Spinal cord excitability, as assessed by modulation of Hoffmann (H-) reflexes, is reduced with fatiguing isometric contractions. Furthermore, spinal cord excitability is reduced during non-fatiguing arm and leg cycling.

Electrical neurostimulation for chronic pain: on selective relay of sensory neural activities in myelinated nerve fibers [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic pain affects about 100 million adults in the US. Despite their great need, neuropharmacology and neurostimulation therapies for chronic pain have been associated with suboptimal efficacy and limited long-term success, as their mechanisms of ...

Patient‐Specific Analysis of Neural Activation During Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain
Neuromodulation (Malden, Mass.), 2019 Despite the widespread use of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic pain management, its neuromodulatory effects remain poorly understood. Computational models provide a valuable tool to study SCS and its effects on axonal pathways within the spinal ...
