biostudies-literatureUnknown12(1)Maris STranscutaneous medium-frequency alternating electrical current is defined as an alternating current between 1 and 10 kHz and is capable of producing an instant, reversible block. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of sensory perception and force production of the index and middle finger after transcutaneous medium-frequency alternating electrical current stimulation of the distal median nerve. A single-center prospective interventional cohort study was conducted in adult healthy volunteers at the Jessa Hospital, Hasselt, Belgium. Two different electrodes (PALS & 3M) were placed on the distal median nerve, which was located using a Sonosite X-Porte Ultrasound transducer, with the first electrode being placed on the skin at the level of the transverse carpal ligament and the secondScientific reports14911https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9437086biostudies-literatureTranscutaneous electrical nerve inhibition using medium frequency alternating current.PMC9437086Stessel BMc Laughlin MBraeken GLenskens DMaris SVanhove HKemnitz SBrone BMeesen RBrands MfalseTranscutaneous electrical nerve inhibition using medium frequency alternating current.Transcutaneous medium-frequency alternating electrical current is defined as an alternating current between 1 and 10 kHz and is capable of producing an instant, reversible block.
