A novel current steering method for targeted spinal cord stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) with leads embedded in the epidural space has become a recognized and effective clinical therapy for chronic pain relief. Leads with multiple electrodes placed close to the spinal cord allow targeted stimulation.

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is treated with surgical or endovascular technique to restore blood flow as distally as possible. Neuromodulation in the form of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is offered to patients who have severe debilitating chronic pain and who are not amenable to conventional drug therapy or surgical bypass.

Ultrasonic distance detection for a closed-loop spinal cord stimulation system [PDF]
When stimulating the spinal cord at a constant strength, the current density in the spinal cord and thus the effects on chronic, intractable pain and vascular insufficiency will change with body position, due to the varying separation of the spinal cord ...

Spinal cord stimulation is the most common mode of neuromodulation used in managing chronic low back pain. It is minimally invasive and reversible as opposed to nerve ablation. The basic scientific background of the initial spinal cord stimulation trials was based on the gate control theory of Melzack and Wall.

Electrical safety in spinal cord stimulation: current density analysis by computer modeling [PDF]
The possibility of tissue damage in spinal cord stimulation was investigated in a computer modeling study. A decrease of the electrode area in monopolar stimulation resulted in an increase of the current density at the electrode surface.

Accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation and a Bayesian latent class model for diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction in horses [PDF]
Background: Spinal cord dysfunction/compression and ataxia are common in horses. Presumptive diagnosis is most commonly based on neurological examination and cervical radiography, but the interest into the diagnostic value of transcranial magnetic ...
