Short- and long-term effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on autonomic cardiovascular control and arm-crank exercise capacity in individuals with a spinal cord injury (STIMEX-SCI): study protocol.

Introduction: Individuals with higher neurological levels of spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the sixth thoracic segment (≥T6), exhibit impaired resting cardiovascular control and responses during upper-body exercise. Over time, impaired cardiovascular control predisposes individuals to lower cardiorespiratory fitness and thus a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) has been shown to modulate cardiovascular responses at rest in individuals with SCI, yet its effectiveness to enhance exercise performance acutely, or promote superior physiological adaptations to exercise following an intervention, in an adequately powered cohort is unknown.

Responsiveness to transcutaneous spinal stimulation for upper extremity recovery following spinal cord injury: A case series exploration of midsagittal tissue bridges.

Craig Hospital, Englewood, Colorado, USA.
Context: Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS), applied to the cervical spine, is able to improve voluntary upper extremity strength and function in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). While most respond and improve in the presence of TSS, others do not respond as favorably. Midsagittal tissue bridges, adjacent to the lesion, can be observed and measured using T-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and both ventral and dorsal tissue bridges are associated with recovery following SCI.

Physical Medicine and rehabilitation Department, Military hospital of Tunis, Tunisia.
Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Chronic low back pain affects 80% of individuals at some point in their lives and has significant socioeconomic impacts. This study aims to compare the efficacy of mesotherapy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in treating chronic low back pain.
Methods: A randomized bicentric study was conducted at the Military Hospital of Tunis and the Multidisciplinary Military Polyclinic of Mefeteh Saadallah between August 2023 and June 2024.
The healing power of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: a systematic review on its effects after breast surgery.

Department of Internal Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey.
Background: Transcutaneous electrical stimulation after breast cancer surgery has been utilized for various purposes, but the full efficacy of this treatment approach on postoperative symptoms remains unclear.
Aim: This study aimed to answer the question: Does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation significantly impact postoperative patient outcomes in individuals undergoing breast cancer surgery?
Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials was conducted. Because of the limited number of studies included, it was not feasible to perform a meta-analysis.
