Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation (tsDCS) [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
In the past ten years renewed interest has centered on non-invasive transcutaneous weak direct currents applied over the scalp to modulate cortical excitability (brain polarization or transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS).

Repeatability of spinal reflexes of lower limb muscles evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation is a relatively new technique to evoke spinal reflexes in lower limb muscles. The advantage of this technique is that the spinal reflex responses can be obtained from multiple lower limb muscles simultaneously ...

Spinal Regulation of Posture: Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord and Affective Sound Stimulation

Life
The combined effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (tES) of the spinal cord and affective sound stimulation on postural control were investigated to elucidate the involvement of spinal networks in the maintenance of vertical stability. Healthy

Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation From Adults to Children: A Review. [PDF]

Top Spinal Cord Inj Rehabil, 2023
Neuromodulation via spinal stimulation is a promising therapy that can augment the neuromuscular capacity for voluntary movements, standing, stepping, and posture in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal locomotor-related neuronal network known as a central pattern generator (CPG) can generate a stepping-like motor output in the absence

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation neuromodulates pre- and postsynaptic inhibition in the control of spinal spasticity

Cell Reports Medicine
Summary: Aside from enabling voluntary control over paralyzed muscles, a key effect of spinal cord stimulation is the alleviation of spasticity. Dysfunction of spinal inhibitory circuits is considered a major cause of spasticity.

Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation Modulates Spinal Reflex Circuit Excitability in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]

Biomedicines
Background: Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) is a noninvasive stimulation approach to modulate spinal reflex circuit excitability after spinal cord injury (SCI) Posterior root muscle (PRM) reflexes can be used to characterize the change in excitability of spinal reflex circuits after TSS; these responses are likely influenced by stimulus ...

The effects of cervical transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation on motor pathways supplying the upper limb in humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Non-invasive, weak direct current stimulation can induce changes in excitability of underlying neural tissue. Many studies have used transcranial direct current stimulation to induce changes in the brain, however more recently a number of studies have ...

Stimulation of the tibial nerve: a protocol for a multicentred randomised controlled trial for urinary problems associated with Parkinson’s disease—STARTUP [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction Parkinson’s disease is the second most common chronic neurodegenerative condition with bladder dysfunction affecting up to 71%. Symptoms affect quality of life and include urgency, frequency, hesitancy, nocturia and incontinence.

POSTURE OF HEALTHY SUBJECTS MODULATED BY TRANSCUTANEOUS SPINAL CORD STIMULATION

Life, 2023
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is used to restore locomotion and body weight support in patients with severe motor disorders. We studied effects of this non-invasive stimulation on postural control in healthy subjects. Stimulation at the L1-L2 vertebrae was performed to activate the extensor muscles of the lower limbs. Because

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.
