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.

   For one month, they received spinal cord stimulation five times a week for four hours each. At the end of the trial period, they all experienced "improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   The stimulation, applied over the lumbar spinal cord, works by activating large diameter afferent fibers entering the spinal cord, [17] [18] which then transsynaptically activate and engage spinal neuronal networks. [19] The same target structures can also be activated by transcutaneous electrodes placed over the lower thoracic spine and ...

   Stimulation is typically in the 20–200 Hz range, though a novel class of stimulation parameters are now emerging that employ a 10 kHz stimulation train as well as 500 Hz "burst stimulation". Kilohertz stimulation trains have been applied to both the spinal cord proper as well as the dorsal root ganglion in humans.

   Normal neural activity results from a balance of electrical and chemical signals that are vulnerable to disruption by trauma to the nervous system. Similar to the way a cardiac pacemaker corrects ...

   These devices deliver electrical stimulation to different areas of the spine based on where they are implanted. Since 2012, Medtronic has produced spinal cord stimulators with accelerometers that can predict the patient's position. The device can be programmed to give additional electrical stimulation if the patient is thought to be in a more ...
