Function Follows Form in Spinal Cord Stimulation


A new study in Nature Biomedical Engineering questions the boom of high-frequency stimulation waveforms in neurorehabilitation after spinal cord injury. Evidence provided by Ursula Hofstötter and Karen Minassian shows that these waveforms raise stimulation thresholds and bypass key neural circuits. Traditional systems remain therapeutically superior, proving that expensive technology is not always the better option
