Peripheral nerves—the network connecting the brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system to the rest of the body—transmit ...

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience highlighted deep nerve stimulation’s ability to lower blood pressure. The University of Houston researchers found that systolic blood pressure can ...

Biomedical engineers are expanding the study of wireless electrodes to treat hypertension and are reporting that blood pressure can be consistently controlled by bioelectronic treatment. A University ...

Electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (eTNM) of the peroneal nerve led to fewer side effects compared with solifenacin (Vesicare) in the treatment of overactive bladder, a randomized trial showed.

Potential advantages of peroneal nerve stimulation include its noninvasiveness and relatively mild side effects. Peroneal electrical transcutaneous nerve modulation appears safe and tolerable for ...

When surrounding structures put pressure on a nerve, it’s referred to as a pinched nerve. It causes symptoms in the part of the body that’s supplied by that nerve. This article describes the causes ...

A University of Houston biomedical engineer is expanding the study of wireless electrodes to treat hypertension and is reporting that blood pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) is ...
