  2. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    Pulsed radiofrequency is the technique whereby radio frequency (RF) oscillations are gated at a rate of pulses (cycles) per second (one cycle per second is known as a hertz (Hz)). Radio frequency energies occupy 1.0 × 10 4 Hz to 3.0 × 10 11 Hz of the electromagnetic spectrum .

  3. Medical applications of radio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_applications_of...

    Diathermy equipment typically operates in the short-wave radio frequency (range 1–100 MHz) or microwave energy (range 434–915 MHz). [citation needed] Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) is a medical treatment that purportedly helps to heal bone tissue reported in a recent NASA study. This method usually employs electromagnetic ...

  4. Neuroscience of rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_rhythm

    The neuroscience of rhythm refers to the various forms of rhythm generated by the central nervous system (CNS). Nerve cells, also known as neurons in the human brain are capable of firing in specific patterns which cause oscillations.

  5. Nerve root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_root

    A nerve root (Latin: radix nervi) is the initial segment of a nerve leaving the central nervous system.Nerve roots can be classified as: Cranial nerve roots: the initial or proximal segment of one of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves leaving the central nervous system from the brain stem or the highest levels of the spinal cord.

  6. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

    Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).

  7. Pudendal nerve entrapment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudendal_nerve_entrapment

    Pulsed radiofrequency has also been successful in treating a refractory case of pudendal neuralgia, but additional research is needed to study the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency on treating pudendal nerve entrapment. [35]

  8. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

    Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

  9. Pain management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_management

    Pulsed radiofrequency, neuromodulation, direct introduction of medication and nerve ablation may be used to target either the tissue structures and organ/systems responsible for persistent nociception or the nociceptors from the structures implicated as the source of chronic pain.
