NCT02384785 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

Last updated 2017-04-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Electrical stimulation therapy for pain reduction was performed already 2000 years ago. In recent years many studies had proved the effectiveness of electrical stimulation in pain management, tissue healing and muscle strengthening. Today there are devices with many types of currents. Each current comes with different statements for its effectiveness and its penetration depth yet there is no consensus on the most effective current in the dimension of penetration depth.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation

Electric currents: 'Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation' and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation will be applied on the back of the patients in parallel to the implanted electrodes. Implanted electrode will measure voltages that generated near the spinal cord tissue.
