2. Spinal cord stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator

   A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions.

3. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical...

   A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...

4. Electrotherapy - Wikipedia

   Earlier reviews found that no conclusions could be drawn about the effectiveness of electrotherapy for neck pain, [11] and that electrotherapy has limited effect on neck pain as measured by clinical results. [12] A 2015 review found that the evidence for electrotherapy in pregnancy-related lower back pain is "very limited". [7]

   Steff DiPardo's mysterious back pain turned out to be ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disorder that causes the bones in the spine to fuse over time. ... Electrical Nerve Stimulation ...

6. Electroanalgesia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalgesia

   Recent studies have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of nerves leads to inhibitory input to the pain pathways at the spinal cord level. [7] PNS is most effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain (e.g., posttraumatic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy) when the nerve lesion is distal to the site of stimulation.

7. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   The primary findings about neurostimulation originated from the idea to stimulate nerves for therapeutic purposes. The 1st recorded use of electrical stimulation for pain relief goes back to 46 AD, when Scribonius Largus used torpedo fish (electric ray) for relieving headaches. [47]
