Percutaneous electrostimulation is performed in the treatment of headaches taking into account, after preliminary tests, the relative psychological symptom connected to headache. The authors suggest that a preliminary analysis is indispensable to the treatment of psychodynamic and psychopathologic mechanisms connected to headache.

Article Synopsis
- Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) are recommended treatments for complex lower urinary tract issues, but they often face challenges like treatment failure and limited long-term effectiveness, necessitating better follow-up strategies.
- A recent consensus report from a 2024 meeting highlighted the importance of "rescue programming" to enhance patient outcomes and device use, alongside exploring alternative stimulation sites for better results.
- Current SNM techniques have not evolved significantly, and while there's little evidence for PTNS rescue programming, advancements in implantable devices and neurostimulation targeting the pudendal nerve show promise for improving treatment adherence and effectiveness.
Randomized Clinical Trial of Electrostimulation Therapies as an Adjuvant for the Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders.

Faculty of Dentistry, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City 04510, Mexico.
We carried out a comparison of the neuromuscular and clinical effects produced by electrostimulation therapies, as an adjuvant to the use of occlusal splints (removable muscle relaxation apparatus) in patients with temporomandibular disorders In this simple randomized clinical trial, 91 patients were randomly divided into three groups. Group A (GA) received transcutaneous electrostimulation therapy and an occlusal splint, Group B (GB) received percutaneous electrostimulation therapy and an occlusal splint, and Group C (GC) received an occlusal splint. The neuromuscular activity, as well as the signs and symptoms of each patient, were evaluated every week throughout the treatment (T0 = baseline; T1 = 7 days; T2 = 14 days; T3 = 21 days; T4 = 28 days; and T5 = 35 days).

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to review literature on how transcutaneous and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation affects lower urinary tract issues caused by multiple sclerosis, analyzing data from various medical databases up until September 2022.
- - Results showed significant improvements in urinary frequency, post-void residual volume, urgency, and maximum cystometric capacity after both types of nerve stimulation treatments, with specific statistical results indicating a clear benefit.
- - However, the analysis noted that transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation did not significantly impact urinary incontinence and nocturia, suggesting it may be less effective for these specific issues.
Perspectives of Electroacupuncture as a New Option for the Treatment of Denervated Muscles.
Med Acupunct
June 2023
Rehabilitation Department, University Hospital Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Introduction: Conservative treatment of peripheral nerve injuries is based on physical therapy approaches, including electrostimulation of denervated muscle. Electrostimulation retards denervation atrophy and prolongs the time window for axon reinnervation.
Aim: This article focuses on the potential of electroacupuncture, which combines electrostimulation with acupuncture, in the context of the latest knowledge on the mechanisms of axonal regeneration.
Electroceuticals for Neurogastroenterology and Motility Disorders.

Division of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Southern California, 1520 San Pablo Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90033, USA.
Purpose Of Review: To provide an updated overview on use of electrostimulation in gastrointestinal motility disorders and obesity, with a focus on gastric electrical stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation.
Recent Findings: Recent studies on gastric electrical stimulation for chronic vomiting showed a decrease in frequency of vomiting, but without significant improvement in quality of life. Percutaneous vagal nerve stimulation shows some promise for both symptoms of gastroparesis and IBS.
