Electrical extracranial stimulation of the facial nerve at the stylomastoid fossa in 14 healthy subjects yielded a mean distal motor latency of 3.7 ms (SD 0.46), comparable with reported latencies to ...

Facial nerve paralysis describes weakness in the muscles on one or both sides of your face that causes an inability to smile, ...

combined PET with the delivery of short bursts of stimulation of the vagus nerve through a small device fitted to a participant’s neck. The implantable pulse generator (IPG), shown on a penny ...

LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) – WellSpan is expanding the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate underactive ...

MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a groundbreaking new method for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) that offers ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a method to noninvasively stimulate neurons in the brain and induce immediate or long term changes in activity. Stimulation is mediated by electromagnetic ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain is a noninvasive, well-tolerated technique that can modify cerebral cortex excitability both locally and at remote, but ...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, drug-free technique to relieve acute and chronic pain. A device is used to send low-voltage electrical currents through the ...

In the study, scientists paired this therapy with concurrent delivery of short bursts of stimulation of the vagus nerve via a small device implanted in a participant’s neck. After a standard ...

researchers at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research are investigating a promising new approach in which vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) interacts with growth factor-β (TGF ...

In this study, published in the journal Nature on May 21, individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury safely received a combination of stimulation of a nerve in the neck with progressive ...
