2. 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. [8]

3. Functional electrical stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_electrical...

   (h) Depolarization occurs where negative current enters the axon at the "active" electrode indicated. Functional electrical stimulation ( FES ) is a technique that uses low-energy electrical pulses to artificially generate body movements in individuals who have been paralyzed due to injury to the central nervous system .

4. Neuromodulation (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromodulation_(medicine)

   The electrodes are placed either via a minimally invasive needle technique (so-called percutaneous leads) or an open surgical exposure (surgical "paddle" electrodes). Patient selection is key, and candidates should pass rigorous psychological screening as well as a medical workup to assure that their pain syndrome is truly medication-resistant ...

5. Peripheral nerve interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_nerve_interface

   Peripheral nerve interfaces are used for pain modulation, [7] restoration of motor function following spinal cord injury or stroke, [8] treatment of epilepsy by electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve, [9] nerve stimulation to control micturition, occipital nerve stimulation for chronic migraines and to interface with neuroprosthetics.

6. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for the treatment of chronic and intractable pain including diabetic neuropathy, failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, ischemic limb pain, refractory unilateral limb pain syndrome, postherpetic neuralgia and acute herpes zoster pain.

7. 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 ...
