Body Position Influences Which Neural Structures Are Recruited by Lumbar Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Transcutaneous stimulation of the human lumbosacral spinal cord is used to evoke spinal reflexes and to neuromodulate altered sensorimotor function following spinal cord injury.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and motor responses in individuals with spinal cord injury: A methodological review

PLOS ONE, 2021
Background Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a non-invasive modality in which electrodes can stimulate spinal circuitries and facilitate a motor response. This review aimed to evaluate the methodology of studies using tSCS to generate motor activity in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to appraise the quality of included trials.

Noninvasive spinal stimulation safely enables upright posture in children with spinal cord injury

Nature Communications, 2021
Scoliosis due to trunk muscle paralysis frequently requires surgical treatment in children with spinal cord injury. The authors demonstrate the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous spinal stimulation to enable upright sitting posture in 7/8 children ...

Early Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation Acutely Improves Lower Urinary Tract Function in Spinal Cord Injured Rats

Neurotrauma Reports, 2022
Despite the fact that a majority of patients with an injury to the spinal cord develop lower urinary tract dysfunction, only few treatment options are available currently once the dysfunction arises.

Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and Motor Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review [PDF]

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2019
Background. Epidural spinal electrical stimulation at the lumbar spinal level evokes rhythmic muscle activation of lower-limb antagonists, attributed to the central pattern generator. However, the efficacy of noninvasive spinal stimulation for the activation of lower-limb muscles is not yet clear.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation effects on spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury: A systematic review

The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2021
Spasticity is one of the most prevalent impairments following spinal cord injury (SCI). It can lead to a decrease in the patient's functional level. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has demonstrated motor function improvements following SCI.

Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Attenuates Blood Pressure Drops in Orthostasis. [PDF]

Life (Basel), 2022
Orthostatic hypotension is a complex medical problem with various underlying pathogenic mechanisms and limited modalities for its correction. Since transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) leads to immediate blood pressure (BP) elevation in a supine position, we suggested that t-SCS may attenuate blood pressure drops in orthostasis.
