Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury

, 2023
Spinal cord injury is a medically complex and life-disrupting condition, associated with very high mortality rates (early death rates after admission range from 4 to 20%). In addition, it’s complicated subsequent severe disability due to the development of early or late complications.

Early Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation Acutely Improves Lower Urinary Tract Function in Spinal Cord Injured Rats

Neurotrauma Reports, 2022
Despite the fact that a majority of patients with an injury to the spinal cord develop lower urinary tract dysfunction, only few treatment options are available currently once the dysfunction arises.

Intracranial somatosensory responses with direct spinal cord stimulation in anesthetized sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The efficacy of spinal cord stimulators is dependent on the ability of the device to functionally activate targeted structures within the spinal cord, while avoiding activation of near-by non-targeted structures.

Targeted transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation promotes persistent recovery of upper limb strength and tactile sensation in spinal cord injury: a pilot study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Long-term recovery of limb function is a significant unmet need in people with paralysis. Neuromodulation of the spinal cord through epidural stimulation, when paired with intense activity-based training, has shown promising results toward restoring ...

Repeatability of spinal reflexes of lower limb muscles evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation is a relatively new technique to evoke spinal reflexes in lower limb muscles. The advantage of this technique is that the spinal reflex responses can be obtained from multiple lower limb muscles simultaneously ...

Site-Specific Neuromodulation of Detrusor and External Urethral Sphincter by Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020
Impairments of the lower urinary tract function including urine storage and voiding are widely spread among patients with spinal cord injuries. The management of such patients includes bladder catheterization, surgical and pharmacological approaches ...

Robotic Postural Training With Epidural Stimulation for the Recovery of Upright Postural Control in Individuals With Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study

Neurotrauma Reports
Activity-based training and lumbosacral spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) have the potential to restore standing and walking with self-balance assistance after motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI).

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.

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 ...
