Whole-body electrical muscle stimulation is a new fitness trend that involves wearing a special body suit. The suit delivers ...

New research by scientists at the Allen Institute's Brain and Consciousness group and Cedars-Sinai offers an unprecedented look at how neurons respond to electric stimulation (ES). Far from being ...

In the recovery and rehabilitation industry, electrical stimulation has become a go-to tool for physical therapy, sports medicine, chiropractors, and even post-operative care. Whether it’s for helping ...

Researchers discovered that different types of neurons showed distinct patterns of 'syncing up' with electrical fields. These patterns varied depending on the rate at which the electrical stimulation ...

O. Rose Broderick reports on the health policies and technologies that govern people with disabilities’ lives. Before coming to STAT, she worked at WNYC’s Radiolab and Scientific American, and her ...

At the forefront of this shift is Nuropod, a U.S.-available, non-invasive, ear-worn vagus nerve stimulation wearable designed to help support reductions in symptoms associated with persistent fatigue, ...

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

E-stim therapy involves using mild electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, which can increase blood flow and promote relaxation, but its effectiveness for RA symptom relief is not ...

Scientists used transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily enhance hypnotizability in patients with chronic pain, making them better candidates for hypnotherapy. How deeply someone can be ...

A new study suggests that a promising noninvasive brain stimulation technique may not function exactly as psychiatrists had hoped for patients with combined depression and anxiety. Researchers found ...
