Nerve stimulator guided pudendal nerve blocks.
We attribute this to the young age of the patient, prompt treatment, and the rapid resolution of symptoms following institution of therapy. It is possible that older infants and adults exhibit more marked elevations in serum CPK due to their relative increased muscle mass. Also noteworthy, was the self-limited fever and tachycardia following her initial anesthetic. Unexplained fever and tachyca...
متن کاملHigh-frequency blockade of the pudendal nerve using a transcutaneously coupled stimulator in a chronically implanted cat
A loss of voluntary drive to the external urethral sphincter (EUS) as a result of spinal cord injury (SCI) often causes EUS hyperreflexia and an inability to empty the bladder. High-frequency (HF) electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve (PN) has been demonstrated by a number of investigators to produce a fast acting and reversible block of action potential propagation providing the ability...
متن کاملLow-power transcutaneous current stimulator for wearable applications
BACKGROUND Peripheral neuropathic desensitization associated with aging, diabetes, alcoholism and HIV/AIDS, affects tens of millions of people worldwide, and there is little or no treatment available to improve sensory function. Recent studies that apply imperceptible continuous vibration or electrical stimulation have shown promise in improving sensitivity in both diseased and healthy particip...
متن کاملPudendal Nerve Compression Syndrome
The pudendal nerve primarily innervates the perineum. This nerve can be gradually stretched and damaged by vaginal deliveries (esp. traumatic births), prolapse of pelvic organs and by pelvic floor descent. This leads to unior bilateral pudendal nerve damage. A direct lesion of the pudendal nerve is rare as it lies deep in the pelvis and is well protected by the pelvic ring. It can be injured ho...
متن کاملPudendal Nerve Entrapment
Our anatomic findings have led us to define conflictual relations that may be encountered in their course by the pudendal n. and its branches. Starting from the clinical study of a group of patients suffering from chronic perineal pain in the seated position, we have defined, beginning with the cadaver, three possible conflictual settings: in the constriction between the sacrotuberal and sacros...
