A novel current steering method for targeted spinal cord stimulation
Frontiers in Pain Research, 2023 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.

Ultrasonic distance detection for a closed-loop spinal cord stimulation system [PDF]
, 1997 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 ...

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

Electrical safety in spinal cord stimulation: current density analysis by computer modeling [PDF]
, 1995 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.

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 ...
