Peripheral electrical stimulation in Alzheimer's disease.
In a number of studies, peripheral electrical nerve stimulation has been applied to Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients who lived in a nursing home. Improvements were observed in memory, verbal fluency, affective behavior, activities of daily living and on the rest-activity rhythm and pupillary light reflex. The aim of the present, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration.
The peripheral nervous system has the intrinsic capacity to regenerate axons into target tissues, and peripheral nerves severely damaged or transected can be reconstructed by microsurgical techniques. The aim of peripheral nerve surgery is to pave way for fast and most possible thorough functional recovery. However, full functional recovery is rarely seen and several reasons for this have alrea...
متن کاملInterferential electrical stimulation improves peripheral vasodilatation in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND Interferential electrical stimulation (IES), which may be linked to greater penetration of deep tissue, may restore blood flow by sympathetic nervous modulation; however, studies have found no association between the frequency and duration of the application and blood flow. We hypothesized that 30 min of IES applied to the ganglion stellate region might improve blood flow redistribut...
متن کاملCoding of peripheral electrical stimulation frequency in thalamocortical pathways.
Frequency information of the environment is an important feature for sensory perception. It has been demonstrated that cortical and thalamic neurons exhibited frequency-specific responses to peripheral stimulation. In the present study, we investigated the effects of 1-100 Hz peripheral electrical stimulations on various thalamic and cortical areas in awake rats. We used chronically implanted m...
متن کاملPeripheral electrical nerve stimulation and rest-activity rhythm in Alzheimer's disease.
Rest-activity rhythm disruption is a prominent clinical feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The origin of the altered rest-activity rhythm is believed to be degeneration of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In accordance with the 'use it or lose it' hypothesis of Swaab [Neurobiol Aging 1991, 12: 317-324] stimulation of the SCN may prevent age-related loss of neurons and might reactivate nerve...
