nerve stimulation techniques

Nerve stimulation techniques involve applying controlled electrical impulses to specific nerves or regions of the nervous system to modulate their activity. These methods can help manage pain, improve nerve function, or assist in rehabilitation. Devices like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) use electrodes on the skin, while implanted systems deliver targeted impulses internally. By influencing nerve signals, these techniques can reduce discomfort, promote healing, or restore functional communication between the brain and body, offering non-invasive or minimally invasive options for treatment of various neurological or musculoskeletal conditions.
