Effect of alternating current stimulation of the spinal cord on recovery from acute spinal cord injury in rats.
RatSpinal cord injuryCompressionWistarn = 20 rats total, 10 treated and 10 controlImplanted extradural electrodes with subcutaneous radiofrequency receiver460 kHz electromagnetic field pulsed at 10 Hz, converted to…Electrodes placed immediately after injury and randomisation
Model: Extradural clip compression of the spinal cord at T6-7 at a force of 125 g for 1 minute
After 15 weeks of continuous stimulation, inclined plane performance did not differ significantly between groups (treatment mean 44.4 +/- 5.4 versus control mean 41.7 +/- 7.9).
