Voluntary motor output is altered by spike-timing-dependent changes in the human corticospinal pathway.

14 Sep 2009 Repeated pairs of timed presynaptic and postsynaptic potentials cause lasting changes in efficacy of transmission at many synapses. The corticospinal tract is the major pathway controlling voluntary movement in humans, and corticospinal neurons have ... Read more...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for refractory daytime urinary urge incontinence.

18 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: We studied the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in children with overactive bladder and treatment refractory daytime urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We recruited 27 children 5 to 14 years old with daytime ... Read more...

Evaluation of the use of posterior tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of fecal incontinence: preliminary results of a prospective study.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: Neuromodulation therapies have been used with success in patients with fecal incontinence. Intermittent percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a new, minimally invasive treatment option for these patients. This study was designed to ... Read more...
