We analyze publications on the most commonly used electrical stimulation methods, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), deep brain stimulation (DBS) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), that aim to treat disabilities caused by TBI. We discuss ...
Ph.D. with the University of Rochester Medical Center Department of Neurology and the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience, which appears today in the journalNeuron, shows that very low levels of electrical stimulation delivered directly to an area of the brain responsible for motor function can in...
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant contributor to global mortality and disability, and emerging evidence indicates that trigeminal nerve electrical stimulation (TNS) is a promising therapeutic intervention for neurological impairment following TBI. However, the precise mechanisms underl...
Objective To investigate the effect of high frequency and low frequency epidural electrical stimulation(EECS) for brain edema caused by fluid percussion injury(FPI).Methods One hundred and eight Sprague-Dawley rats of specific pathogen free(SPF) standards were randomly divided into six groups: normal...
The termtranscranial electrical (or electric) stimulation(tES) is the preferred nomenclature for any non-invasive device intended to directly change brain function by passing low- or high-amplitude electrical currents, of any waveform, through at least one electrode on thescalp[1]. The total amount...
To evaluate the effects of epidural electrical stimulation (EES) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor recovery and brain activity in a rat model of diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to the control group. Thirty rats weighing 270-285 g with diffuse TBI with...
Effects of brain-stem stimulation upon hippocampal electrical activity, somatomotor reflexes and autonomic functions In order to understand better the functional significance of hippocampal electrical activity, an attempt has been made to relate its changes with those of ...

Electrical Brain Stimulation: It is the application of electrical current directly to the cortex. It can be delivered temporarily: intra-operatively during awake surgery in patients with brain tumours or intractable epilepsy to identify critical areas for cognitive and motor functions; extra-operatively ...
This Clinical Policy Bulletin addresses electrical stimulation for nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness (PrimaBella and ReliefBand) and other selected indications. Medical Necessity Aetna considers the following transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation treatments medically necessary when criteria are met: ...
For instance, transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) is a non-invasive neuromodulatory method with positive effects on the evocation of visual cortical responses [33]. There is convincing evidence that TES can alter rats' brain oscillations [34, 35], and molecular evidence demonstrates that TES...
