External PNS also known as functional electrical stimulation (FES) or functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) is a characteristic type of stimulation applied in those cases. For example, peroneal nerve stimulation helps clear the toes during the gait cycle when we have a dropped foot problem in hemiparesis. When the peripheral nervous system is affected the nerve-muscle connection is broken. This happens in peripheral nerve disorders or injuries and in nerve-muscle diseases. In this case, the central nervous system remains intact but access to the periphery is blocked.
For ischemic pain the mechanism of SCS action differs. There are many postulated mechanisms, the most accepted of which is that of modulation of autonomic activity theory, in which rebalance of oxygen demand and supply is the cause of pain relief. This mechanism of action can also describe the effects of SCS on angina pectoris [43]. During stimulation of a spinal cord segment, patients feel paresthesia over the body part that corresponds to the spinal cord segment being stimulated. Ideally, paresthesia should not be due to dorsal root dermatomal stimulation, therefore a midline or near midline electrode placement is advisable.
Electrical This distinction fits with the definition of neuromodulation and leads to two of the main categories for neurodevices namely ‘‘stimulators’’ and ‘‘pumps’’. g. baclofen for spasticity or morphine for pain).
