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.

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

Repeated transspinal stimulation decreases soleus H-reflex excitability and restores spinal inhibition in human spinal cord injury.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcutaneous spinal cord or transspinal stimulation over the thoracolumbar enlargement, the spinal location of motoneurons innervating leg muscles, modulates neural circuits engaged in the control of movement.

Cervical Spinal Cord Stimulation for Functional Rehabilitation After Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review of Preclinical and Clinical Studies

Life
Cervical spinal cord injury causes severe functional impairment with limited spontaneous recovery, and while spinal cord stimulation has emerged as a promising neuromodulatory strategy, evidence for cervical applications remains fragmented.

Effects of sustained electrical stimulation on spasticity assessed by the pendulum test

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016
Neuromodulation using electrical stimulation is able to enhance motor control of individuals suffering an upper motor neuron disorder. This work examined the effect of sustained electrical stimulation to modify spasticity in the leg muscles.

Effect of cerebrospinal dual-site magnetic stimulation on freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease
Addressing levodopa-unresponsive freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents a significant challenge. A randomized double-blinded trial evaluated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in conjunction with ...
