Objective: Evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in preventing respiratory failure improving survival hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Background Although neurostimulation has been shown to be of benefit in angina pectoris, the exact mechanism of its action is not clear. This study was performed to examine the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on coronary blood flow. Methods and Results The effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was studied in 34 syndrome X patients (group 1), 15 coronary art...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is not therapeutic cure that works by activating complex neural network and engaging inhibitory descending processes in the central nervous system to diminish hyperalgesia . Neuromuscular (NMES) have recommended as supplement for other treatments, such workout, or a stand-alone treatment increase muscle power, decrease knee discomfort, improve ...

The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) is one of the medical devices that uses electricity to stimulate nerve and produce analgesic effects. A TENS device a small battery-powered or city-powered with ends attached sticky pads called electrodes. TENS, its main purpose helping reduce pain muscle spasms, has wide usage area, especially in arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain...

BACKGROUND Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is currently used to treat refractory epilepsy and is being investigated as a potential therapy for a range of conditions, including heart failure, tinnitus, obesity and Alzheimer's disease. However, the invasive nature and expense limits the use of VNS in patient populations and hinders the exploration of the mechanisms involved. OBJECTIVE We investig...

PURPOSE We defined basic guidelines for transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation in modifying pelvic floor responses in women and determined the efficacy of transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation in treating stress urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS Perineal and clitoral transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation was performed in healthy volunteers while measuring changes in...

Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system imbalance has been strongly associated to sudden cardiac death. Among the non-pharmacological treatment, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) represents a possible therapeutic intervention to reduce sympathetic excitation and improve the sympatho-vagal balance in different clinical conditions. We aimed to verify acute effects of high ...

The objective of this paper was to develop an experimental model to be used in the study of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on viability of random skin flap in rats. The sample was 15 Wistar-EPM rats. The random skin flap measured 10x4 cm and a plastic barrier was placed between the flap and the donnor site. The animals were submited to TENS for 1 hour immediately after the s...
