Electrical conduction block in large nerves: high-frequency current delivery in the nonhuman primate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies have made significant progress toward the clinical implementation of high-frequency conduction block (HFB) of peripheral nerves. However, these studies were performed in small nerves, and questions remain regarding the nature of HFB in large-diameter nerves. This study in nonhuman primates shows reliable conduction block in large-diameter nerves (up to 4.1 mm) with relatively low-threshold current amplitude and only moderate nerve discharge prior to the onset of block.

Asymmetric Rectangular Waveform in Stimulation with High Frequency Alternating Current Reduces the Threshold for Neural Conduction Block
Introduction Abnormal neural impulses in the nervous system may lead to various diseases and disabilities. High frequency alternating currents (HFAC) has been used to block the propagation of such impulses and improve the symptoms or disabilities. The technique is safe, reversible, and relatively selective, and its reliability, the optimum stimulation parameters, and elimination of the onset re...
متن کاملBlocking central pathways in the primate motor system using high-frequency sinusoidal current
Electrical stimulation with high-frequency (2-10 kHz) sinusoidal currents has previously been shown to produce a transient and complete nerve block in the peripheral nervous system. Modeling and in vitro studies suggest that this is due to a prolonged local depolarization across a broad section of membrane underlying the blocking electrode. Previous work has used cuff electrodes wrapped around ...

متن کاملHigh-frequency blockade of the pudendal nerve using transcutaneous, capacitively coupled electrical stimulation
After spinal cord injury (SCI), external urethral sphincter (EUS) hyperreflexia often develops which can lead to an inability to properly empty the bladder. Short of catheterization and irreversible surgery, few options exist for managing this condition. High-frequency electrical stimulation can produce a reversible block of peripheral nerve conduction, and has been proposed as a way to block u...
متن کاملDifferential fiber-specific block of nerve conduction in mammalian peripheral nerves using kilohertz electrical stimulation.
Kilohertz electrical stimulation (KES) has been shown to induce repeatable and reversible nerve conduction block in animal models. In this study, we characterized the ability of KES stimuli to selectively block specific components of stimulated nerve activity using in vivo preparations of the rat sciatic and vagus nerves. KES stimuli in the frequency range of 5-70 kHz and amplitudes of 0.1-3.0 ...
