AORN Journal, 1976 Great innovation in patient selection, expertise, and technology has yielded spinal cord stimulation as a treatment which when skillfully applied offers significant and reliable chronic pain relief at the patient’s own direction. This chapter presents an overview of the practical application of spinal cord stimulation, focusing on patient selection ...

Analysis of current density and related parameters in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
, 1998 A volume conductor model of the spinal cord and surrounding anatomical structures is used to calculate current (and current density) charge per pulse, and maximum charge density per pulse at the contact surface of the electrode in the dorsal epidural ...

Interfacing peripheral nerve with macro-sieve electrodes following spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2017 Macro-sieve electrodes were implanted in the sciatic nerve of five adult male Lewis rats following spinal cord injury to assess the ability of the macro-sieve electrode to interface regenerated peripheral nerve fibers post-spinal cord injury. Each spinal

A wireless spinal stimulation system for ventral activation of the rat cervical spinal cord
Scientific Reports, 2021 Electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord is gaining traction as a therapy following spinal cord injury; however, it is difficult to target the cervical motor region in a rodent using a non-penetrating stimulus compared with direct placement of ...

Spinal cord stimulation for predominant low back pain in failed back surgery syndrome: study protocol for an international multicenter randomized controlled trial (PROMISE study) [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Although results of case series support the use of spinal cord stimulation in failed back surgery syndrome patients with predominant low back pain, no confirmatory randomized controlled trial has been undertaken in this patient group to date.

Swimming Rhythm Generation in The Caudal Hindbrain of The Lamprey [PDF]
, 2018 The spinal cord has been well established as the site of generation of the locomotor rhythm in vertebrates, but studies have suggested that the caudal hindbrain in larval fish and amphibians can also generate locomotor rhythms.

, 2005 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.

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.
