In magnetic resonance, time-varying gradient magnetic fields (dB/dt) may stimulate nerves or muscles by inducing electric fields in patients. Models predicted mean peripheral nerve and cardiac stimulation thresholds. For gradient ramp durations of less than a few milliseconds, mean peripheral nerve stimulation is a safe indicator of high dB/dt. At sufficient amplitudes, peripheral nerve stimula...

We read the excellent review “Cryoneurolysis and Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation to Treat Acute Pain”1 with a particular interest in potential application of neuromodulation for acute pain management. With accelerating drive early mobilization hospital discharge, there is need explore alternative management strategies addition traditional loco-regional techniques using chemical means ...

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...

Despite the important role of both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2) in maintenance of hypersensitivity following peripheral nerve injury, their role in the development of neuropathic pain is not clear. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of COX inhibitors to address the potential role of COX isozymes in the development of neuropathic pain in rats after c...

SCS has positively impacted the life and function of thousands. In contrast, stimulation of the peripheral nervous system, also FDA-approved for limited use, is employed to treat neuropathic pain arising from peripheral nerve dysfunction. Two, distinct therapies exist: 1) Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) therapy, which provides stimulus to a named nerve that innervates an area and 2) Peripher...
