Embodiment

[0087] This paper demonstrates the effect of transspinal sciatic nerve to spinal cord or spinal cord to sciatic nerve direct current stimulation on physiological and pathological abnormalities in the treatment of effector organs such as in the regulation of muscle tone. Collectively, these results suggest that DCS affects muscle tone by modulating spinal cord excitability and that simultaneous stimulation with the presently disclosed tsDCS in combination with pDCS resolves muscle tone dysfunction with long-term effects. This has substantial clinical value in the treatment of a wide range of effector organ disorders.

[0088] Embodiments of the present teaching utilize dedicated circuits: the first circuit contains current between a skin surface electrode positioned above the spinal cord and a reference electrode, the latter at the abdominal skin or other non-nervous area, for delivery of tsDCS. In the practice of these teachings, this current path facilitates inhibition or exc...

Abstract

Improved neuromodulation control of neurological abnormalities associated with effector organs in vertebrate beings using direct current stimulation for modulating spinal cord excitability, having a peripheral-current supplying component for providing direct current peripheral nerve stimulation and a spinal-current supplying component providing direct current for spinal stimulation, and a controller managing such functions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for the regulation of spinal cord excitability for the regulation of effector organs, such as regulation of muscle tone and regulation of autonomic system function. Background technique [0002] The nervous system includes the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the latter including the somatic nervous system (SNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main transmission path for signals between the body and brain. The PNS transmits signals throughout the rest of the body beyond the brain and spinal cord, including motor signals to muscles and sending feedback to the brain, including tactile and pain signals from the skin. SNS and ANS overlap with CNS and PNS. There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves originating from the cervical (8), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5) and caudal (1) segments. Spin...
