Improved Sensation With Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Following Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
Following spinal cord injury (SCI), recovery of sensation is often neglected despite its critical roles in motor task execution and injury prevention. The Up-LIFT trial recently found targeted transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) combined with rehabilitation significantly improved sensation in addition to upper extremity (UE) strength and ...

Large-scale changes in cortical dynamics triggered by repetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation. [PDF]
BackgroundRepetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation (SES) of forelimb peripheral nerves is a promising therapy; studies have shown that SES can improve motor function in stroke subjects with chronic deficits.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for treatment of spinal spasticity.
Thirty-two patients with spinally originated muscle spasticity were treated with a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, the Han's acupoint nerve stimulator (HANS) via skin electrodes placed over the acupoints on the hand and leg. High frequency (100 Hz), but not the low frequency (2 Hz), stimulation was effective in ameliorating muscle ...

On the use of sham transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in spinal cord injury clinical trials
Kramer et al. examine the reasons put forth by investigators for excluding a sham condition in trials of neuromodulation therapies for individuals with spinal cord injury. They conclude that current dogma does not justify this design, and emphasize the need for future trials to include appropriate controls.

Electrophysiological Guidance of Epidural Electrode Array Implantation over the Human Lumbosacral Spinal Cord to Enable Motor Function after Chronic Paralysis. [PDF]
Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord has been shown to restore function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Characterization of EES-evoked motor responses has provided a basic understanding of spinal sensorimotor network activity related ...
