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.

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 ...

Epidural Stimulation Induced Modulation of Spinal Locomotor Networks in Adult Spinal Rats [PDF]
The importance of the in vivo dynamic nature of the circuitries within the spinal cord that generate locomotion is becoming increasingly evident. We examined the characteristics of hindlimb EMG activity evoked in response to epidural stimulation at the ...

Development of a multi-electrode array for spinal cord epidural stimulation to facilitate stepping and standing after a complete spinal cord injury in adult rats [PDF]
Background: Stimulation of the spinal cord has been shown to have great potential for improving function after motor deficits caused by injury or pathological conditions.

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 ...
