Direct effect of electrical stimulation on peripheral nerve evoked activity: implications in pain relief.
Authors:R J Ignelzi  J K Nyquist
Abstract:Experiments were performed with a peripheral neurostimulator, used clinically for pain relief, on isolated cat cutaneous peripheral nerve to determine the effect of electrical stimulation on components of the compound action potential. The results show that neurostimulation alters the conduction velocity and the amplitude of both the A-alpha and beta and the A-delta waves with the more slowly-conducting A-delta component showing the greatest changes. This direct alteration of peripheral nerve activity distal to the first synapse in the spinal cord might contribute to the mechanism of pain relief.
