Research Article: Spinal cord stimulation using time-dynamic pulses achieves longer reversal of allodynia compared to tonic pulses in a rat model of neuropathic pain
Abstract:
Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) utilizing time-dynamic pulses (TDPs) is an emergent field of neuromodulation that continuously and automatically modulates pulse parameters. We previously demonstrated that TDPs delivered for 60?min at paresthesia-free or minimal paresthesia amplitudes significantly reversed allodynia in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Because the anti-allodynic effect was observed to persist post-stimulation, we hypothesized that the anti-nociceptive effects of TDPs may persist longer than those of tonic stimulation.
