Transcutaneous magnetic spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2020
Dopaminergic drugs partially alleviate gait problems in Parkinson's disease, but the effects are not sustained in the long-term. Particularly, the freezing of gait directly impacts patients' quality of life. Experimental epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) studies have suggested positive effects on locomotion among PD patients, but the effects of ...

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on motor function in patients with spinal cord injury: A meta-analysis

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is effective in the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the evidence is mainly based on case reports. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the influence of transcutaneous SCS on extremity motor function of patients with SCI in a meta-analysis. METHODS:

Effects of anode position on the responses elicited by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

2017 39th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2017
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of anode position on the spinal reflex responses evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. Healthy males participated in two experiments. In Experiment 1 (Exp. 1, n = 3), we investigated the effect of anode position on the spinal reflex responses in multiple lower-limb muscles.

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of urinary bladder in patients with spinal cord injuries

International Urology and Nephrology, 2008
The treatment of neurogenic dysfunctions of micturition, both surgical and conservative, aims primarily to protect upper urinary tract function. This goal can be achieved by lowering intravesical pressure and increasing urinary bladder capacity in the urine collection phase or by facilitating bladder emptying.The objective of this paper was to assess ...

Finite Element Models of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation

2013
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a noninvasive method to electrically stimulate afferent structures of the human lumbar spinal cord. These are the same neural targets as predominantly activated by epidural implants. Biophysical principles derived from computer simulations contributed to the identification of the directly activated neural

On carrier frequency in transcutaneous spinal cord electrical stimulation: a narrative review

Journal of Neural Engineering
Abstract Objective. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) using kilohertz frequency carrier modulation has emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulation approach to improve motor recovery and reduce pain. Early application of 5–10 kHz modulated pulses for tSCS has shown promising results in spinal cord (SC) injury ...

Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation of descending tracts in the cervical spinal cord in humans

Neuroscience Letters, 1995
Percutaneous magnetic stimulation in humans allows non-invasive stimulation of deeply situated nervous structures with little, if any, discomfort and has proven its utility for brain stimulation. At the level of the vertebral canal, magnetic stimulation readily elicits muscle responses through activation of the motor spinal roots, but there has been no

How Is Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Intensity Determined in Individuals With a Spinal Cord Injury?

<div> Introduction: Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is an intervention used to improve rehabilitation outcomes in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Currently, differences in methods confound translation from research to routine practice, including how tSCS intensity is determined. Intensity affects the activation of neural
