Neuromuscular stimulation, also known as electronic muscle stimulation, is a technique that applies an electrical impulse to the skin and muscle tissue. It can be used for pain relief and muscle training or therapy, and is effective for chronic and acute pain. A TENS unit is a common device used for neuromuscular stimulation. It can […]
Auditory stimulation uses sound to affect the nervous system and can be used in sensory therapy for disabilities, speech development, and language learning. It can also be used in multi-sensory therapy for relaxation or learning and in accelerated learning programs for gifted children. Auditory stimulation is the use of focused sound to produce an effect […]
Well stimulation techniques can improve the flow of hydrocarbons in a well by increasing permeability through cleaning the formation or creating fractures. Gas lift can also be used to start or repair a well. Chemicals and explosives are used to clean and fracture the formation. The well stimulation process can be used to improve the […]
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate neurons in the brain. It has shown promise in treating cognitive disorders and has potential applications in brain research. TMS has been successful in treating depression and migraines and has been used to induce phosphenes and enhance artistic ability. However, the […]
Microcurrent stimulation is a low-current therapy used for pain relief, healing, and sports medicine. It can also treat macular degeneration by restoring normal cell functioning. Devices like TENS, MENS, and NMES provide similar benefits, including muscle relaxation and increased circulation. Microcurrent stimulation is a type of therapy in which a very low current is sent […]
