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. Stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulator

   Spinal cord stimulator, an implantable neuromodulation device; Sacral nerve stimulator, for bladder and/or bowel control Sacral anterior root stimulator; Thalamic stimulator, to suppress tremors; Vagus nerve stimulator, for epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression

4. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   Neurostimulation is the purposeful modulation of the nervous system's activity using invasive (e.g. microelectrodes) or non-invasive means (e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electric stimulation such as tDCS or tACS).

5. Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcurrent_electrical...

   A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator or MENS (also microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulator) is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply extremely small microamp [uA] electrical currents (less than 1 milliampere [mA]) to the tissues using electrodes placed on the skin.

6. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglossal_nerve_stimulator

   The stimulator and sensory lead are then connected via a tunneled wire to an implantable pulse generator. When turned on during sleep, the sensory lead in the chest detects the respiratory cycle. During inspiration (i.e., inhale), an electrical signal is fired via the stimulator lead in the neck, stimulating the hypoglossal nerve, and causing ...

7. Functional electrical stimulation - Wikipedia

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

   (This statement is correct for all commercially available stimulators except MyndMove stimulator (developed my Milos R. Popovic), which has implemented a new stimulation pulse that allows the stimulator to generate muscle contractions without causing discomfort during stimulation, which is a common problem with commercially available ...
