Case report: Virtual reality-based arm and leg cycling combined with transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation for early treatment of a cervical spinal cord injured patient

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Spinal cord injury is a condition affecting the central nervous system, causing different levels of dysfunction below the point of nerve damage. A 50-year-old woman suffered a neck injury as a result of a car accident. After undergoing posterior cervical

A novel reflex analysis of healthy and spinal cord-injured individuals

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022
Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a drastic effect on the quality of life of those affected. There is thus a great need for new knowledge that may increase their quality of life.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for neuropathic pain in adults (Protocol) [PDF]

, 2015
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To determine the analgesic effectiveness of TENS versus placebo (sham) TENS, TENS versus usual care, TENS versus no treatment and TENS in addition to usual care ...

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Recovery cycles of posterior root-muscle reflexes evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and of the H reflex in individuals with intact and injured spinal cord.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Posterior root-muscle (PRM) reflexes are short-latency spinal reflexes evoked by epidural or transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in clinical and physiological studies.

Strategies to augment volitional and reflex function may improve locomotor capacity following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]

, 2018
Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in volitional motor recovery, such as walking function, although similar ...

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...

Electromyography (EMG)-triggered transcutaneous spinal cord and hip stimulation for gait rehabilitation in persons with chronic stroke: a randomized, controlled trial

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Transcutaneous spinal stimulation has been applied to gait rehabilitation for persons with neurological diseases. The authors developed electromyography-triggered transcutaneous spinal cord and hip stimulation for gait rehabilitation and ...

Peripheral electrical nerve stimulation and rest-activity rhythm in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

, 2006
Rest-activity rhythm disruption is a prominent clinical feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The origin of the altered rest-activity rhythm is believed to be degeneration of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

An easy-to-build transcutaneous electrical stimulator for spinal cord stimulation therapy

, 2022
Abstract Transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation, a non-invasive, reversible spinal cord neuromodulation method holds tremendous promise and hope for the people with paralysis resultant of spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neurological conditions. Yet, there are not many options of such stimulation device compared to other successful
