Abstract:
To further elucidate the functional anatomy of canine cardiac innervation as well as to assess the feasibility of producing regional left ventricular sympathetic denervation, the chronotropic and (or) regional left ventricular inotropic responses produced by stellate or middle cervical ganglion stimulation were investigated in 22 dogs before and after sectioning of individual major cardiopulmonary or cardiac nerves. Sectioning the right or left subclavian ansae abolished all cardiac responses produced by ipsilateral stellate ganglion stimulation. Sectioning a major sympathetic cardiopulmonary

Abstract:
The intracardiac parasympathetic neural elements that control sinus rate are found in the fatty tissue overlying the atrial junctions of the right pulmonary veins of mammalian hearts. We refer to these nerves as the sinus rate-related parasympathetic nerves (SRRPN). Thus, to elucidate the role of SRRPN, we studied the effects of cervical vagus stimulation on the positive chronotropic responses to cardiac sympathetic nerve stimulation and isoproterenol infusion before and after the SRRPN were removed in the open-chest anesthetized dog heart. Before SRRPN denervation, cervical vagus stimulation

Abstract:
Both sides of the nasal vasculature of the dog in vivo were perfused separately, with measurement of vascular resistance responses to stimulation of various nerves. Stimulation of the central end of a cut superior laryngeal nerve caused an ipsilateral vasodilation (-4.98%) and a contralateral vasoconstriction (+3.96%), the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.01). Stimulation of a glossopharyngeal nerve caused vasodilation on both sides, the ipsilateral (-17.52%) being greater than the contralateral (-6.33%) response (P < 0.05).

Transcutaneous bilateral phrenic nerve stimulation (tPNS) is frequently used to assess diaphragmatic function in humans. Commonly, stimulation is performed with hand-held electrodes; however, these are unsuitable for studies requiring repeated PNS and where recruitment of rib cage and neck muscles may shift the probes in relation to the nerves. In this study we describe the design of a cervical neck brace and electrode probes that maintain stimulating electrodes in constant position relative to the phrenic nerves and facilitates studies requiring repeated maximal PNS.

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and dyspnea or missing therapeutic effects are observed at different frequencies. Cervical vagus nerve branching might partly be responsible for these effects. However, vagus nerve branching has not yet been described in the context of vagus nerve stimulation.

Cervical vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been studied in the context of several conditions including epilepsy and depression. However, its effects on glucose metabolism, and its potentially beneficial effects in type II diabetes, have not yet been evaluated in humans. Efferent parasympathetic activation reduces hepatic glucose release and increases pancreatic insulin secretion, while afferent parasympathetic activation may increase hepatic glucose release and inhibit insulin secretion potentially through sympathetic activation. Thus, the effect of combined afferent and efferent cervical VNS

Abstract:
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved therapy for patients suffering from refractory epilepsy. While VNS is currently an open loop system, making the system closed loop can improve the therapeutic efficacy. Electrical recording of peripheral nerve activity using a nerve cuff electrode is a potential long-term solution for implementing a closed-loop controlled VNS system. However, the clinical utility of this approach is significantly limited by various factors, such as poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the recorded electroneurogram (ENG).

Abstract:
Patients with occipital neuralgia typically complain of intractable, posterior headaches. Prior attempts to treat this condition have traditionally consisted of various strategies to decompress or cut the greater occipital nerve. Some have even advocated the ablation of ganglia or cervical roots that give rise to the occipital nerve. However, such treatments are highly invasive, irreversible, and fraught with failure and complications. Modern strategies employing subcutaneous stimulation of the occipital nerve using linear stimulation arrays are quite effective and lower in invasiveness and risk. This chapter discusses the clinical hallmarks of occipital neuralgia and the technique by which these subcutaneous electrodes are implanted and utilized.

This chapter discusses pain, movement disorders, epilepsy, dystonia, and neuropsychiatric disorder. The first set of studies examines the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation in managing pain in patients with chronic back pain and extremity pain, chronic pain, and neuropathic pain. The second set of studies evaluates the efficacy of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus for the management of severe motor complications of Parkinson’s disease and compares it with ablative options such as unilateral pallidotomy. The third set of studies assesses the therapeutic value of nerve stimulation for patients with refractory epilepsy as well as its impact in seizure reduction. The next study explores the safety and efficacy of bilateral globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) stimulation for cervical dystonia, a complex condition that is often refractory to multiple medical and procedural therapies. Finally, the last study determines whether daily left prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) safely and effectively treats major depressive disorder.

Spondylitis is a very common back and neck ailment that is reported to account for one-third of social problems causing difficulty at work. It is caused due to the inflammation in vertebral joints. Its condition goes undetected until the symptoms, such as that of severe pain, develops. It causes stinging pain which is focused around cervical region of vertebra, the shoulders and the lumbar region of the spine. Accordingly, it is classified into three types: cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral spondylosis. This is different from spondylitis which causes pain due to inflammation. Many existing de
