Filter by:Tinnitus is the awareness of sound or noise in the absence of acoustic stimulation. No definite therapeutic strategy of tinnitus has been developed yet. The current theory of tinnitus is the plasticity theory of neurophysiology model. Although acupuncture has its role in tinnitus treatment, its actual role still remains to be elucidated. Acupuncture has been proposed to induce the development of neuroplasticity. The aim of this project is to undergo a comprehensive investigation to the central auditory effect and the therapeutic effects of acupuncture in tinnitus. According the results of the preliminary studies, the objective auditory measurement and subjective tinnitus perception will be analyzed in tinnitus patients before and after acupuncture.
The goal of this online survey is to gain further insight in the goals, expectations and definition of success for neuromodulation for pain, according to healthcare providers.

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which a non-invasive, palpatory neuromodulatory protocol on the trigeminal nerve endings on the face can affect tenderness felt on the posterior neck musculature, using the Isotouch pressure sensor system. Specific Aim 1: Subjects will see a decrease in tenderness in the posterior neck musculature. Specific Aim 2: Subjects will show a decrease in tenderness on the trigeminal tender points found on the face.
High-frequency alternating currents of greater than 1 kHz applied on peripheral nerves has been used in animal studies to produce a motor nerve block. It has been evidenced that frequencies higher than 5 kHz are necessary to produce a complete peripheral nerve block in primates, whose nerve thickness is more similar to humans.
This study assess the effectiveness on AcuTENS on the treatment of faecal incontinence
Low-frequency percutaneous electrical stimulation is the application of an electrical current of <1000Hz through acupuncture needles located on the epineurium of the peripheral nervous system. The hypothesis is that by placing the electrode, needle, closer to the nerve, a greater stimulation of the same will be achieved, thus being able to obtain greater effects. The goal is to determine if this technique has any effect on grip strength in the short term.

Anterior knee pain (AKP) is one of the most frequent pathologies of the lower limb, in young and adult subjects. In the field of Physiotherapy, ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation (PNM) is defined as the application through a needle with ultrasound guidance of an electrical current at low or medium frequency, seeking a sensitive and / or motor response of a peripheral nerve in some point of its trajectory, or of a muscle in a motor point, with a therapeutic objective. The objective of this study is to analyze that the effect of PNM on the femoral nerve produces statistically significant changes in pain, joint range and knee functionality in patients with chronic AKP. Thirty subjects will be recruited, which will be divided into 2 groups: group 1 to which PNM will be applied to the femoral nerve of the pain knee; and group 2 to which PNM will be applied to the femoral nerve of the non-pain knee. The PNM intervention with NMP will consist in the single application of an asymmetric rectangular biphasic current (250 microseconds, 10 Hz)
