Validation of a parameterized, open-source model of nerve stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Peripheral nerve stimulation is an effective treatment for various neurological disorders. The method of activation and stimulation parameters used impact the efficacy of the therapy, which emphasizes the need for tools to model this behavior. Computational modeling of nerve stimulation has proven to be a useful tool for estimating stimulation thresholds, optimizing electrode design, and exploring previously untested stimulation methods. Despite their utility, these tools require access to and familiarity with several pieces of specialized software. A simpler, streamlined process would increase accessibility significantly. We developed an open-source, parameterized model with a simple online user interface that allows user to adjust up to 36 different parameters (https://nervestimlab.utdal
