The current standard for composite tissue preservation is static cold storage (SCS) and is limited to 6h until irreversible muscle damage occurs. Extracorporeal perfusion (ECP) is a promising technique for prolonged preservation, however, functional results have been scarcely researched. This article assessed neuromuscular function and compared res...

Migraine is a multifactorial neurovascular disorder, which affects about 12% of the general population. In episodic migraine, the visual cortex revealed abnormal processing, most likely due to decreased preactivation level. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is able to modify cortical excitability and might result in an alleviation of m...

Ultrasound is an emerging method for non-invasive neuromodulation. Studies in the past have demonstrated that ultrasound can reversibly activate and inhibit neural activities in the brain. Recent research shows the possibility of using ultrasound ranging from 0.5 to 43 MHz in acoustic frequency to activate the retinal neurons without causing detect...

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has been used in the implantation of spinal cord stimulation for both safety and confirmation of lead placement. It is less well defined in its use for dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulator placement. This is a retrospective analysis of 304 leads placed in 93 patients undergoing DRG stimulation therapy with its...

To report the explantation rates of high frequency 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in a real-world setting. This is a retrospective review of patients implanted with high frequency spinal cord stimulators over a 4-year period in two outpatient private practice clinics, from July 2015 through June 2019, using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit meth...

Despite Accredited Counsel of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidance and criteria, there remains variability in training both within each specialty and across the specialties involved in the delivery of neuromodulation. NANS advocates for the efficacious and safe the implementation of neuromodulation and therefore an educational mentoring prog...

Background Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is present in humans and rodents, and contributes to energy expenditure by converting energy stored in lipids and glucose into heat. Beta adrenergic receptor (β-AR) agonists have been proposed as pharmacological tools to activate BAT, but they lack selectivity for this tissue. This study aimed to investigate th...

High-frequency 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (10-kHz SCS) has shown promise in multicenter prospective trials for the management of chronic back and leg pain. Traditional spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) has a long history of effectiveness in chronic neuropathic syndromes but not uncommonly can fail to provide long-term relief, leaving a significan...
