Novel Pulsed-Ultrahigh-Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation Inhibits Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Brain Neuronal Activity in Rats after Nerve Injury

Authors: Chin-Tsang Yang, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2023. Background Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an important pain treatment modality. We hypothesized that a novel pulsed-ultrahigh-frequency SCS (pUHF-SCS) could safely and effectively inhibit spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain in rats. Methods Epidural pUHF-SCS (± 3V, 2Hz pulses comprising 500 kHz biphasic sinewaves) was implanted at […]
