Abstract Introduction Chronic pain and reduced function are significant problems for Military Service members Veterans following amputation. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a promising therapy, but PNS systems have traditionally been limited by invasiveness complications. Recently, novel percutaneous system was developed to reduce the risk of complications enable delivery without surgery. Materials Methods Percutaneous evaluated determine if provides relief from residual phantom limb...
Two persons with chronic motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) were implanted percutaneous epidural stimulation (SCES) leads to enable control below the level (NCT04782947). Through a period of temporary followed by permanent SCES implantation, mapping was conducted primarily optimize configurations enabling volitional movement and training standing stepping as secondary outcome. In both participants, enabled voluntary increased muscle activation decreased assistance during...
Introduction & aim: Temporary (60-day) percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has demonstrated effectiveness for the treatment of chronic post-amputation pain, and this pilot study aims to evaluate feasibility temporary PNS acute pain. Patients methods: Sixteen veterans undergoing lower extremity amputation received standard medical therapy or alone. Results: The group reported greater reductions in average phantom limb residual pain daily opioid consumption, there were fewer...
Introduction: Implanted spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCES) is an emerging neuromodulation approach that increases the excitability of central pattern generator [CPG] and enhances tonic rhythmic motor patterns after injury (SCI). We determine effects exoskeleton-assisted walking [EAW] + [ES] resistance training [RT] on volitional control as a primary outcome, well autonomic cardiovascular profile, body composition, bladder function compared to EAW delayed ES noRT in persons with...
