This study develops a means of delivering electrical stimuli directly to the pial surface of the
spinal cord for treatment of intractable pain. This intradural implant must remain in direct …

The authors are developing a novel type of spinal cord stimulator, designed to be placed
directly on the pial surface of the spinal cord, for more selective activation of target tissues …

We have used finite-element (FE) modeling to investigate the mechanical compliance,
positional stability and contact pressures associated with a novel type of spinal cord …

We have designed, built and tested a novel device for placing intradural neurmodulator
implants directly on the pial surface of the spinal cord. This applier tool is designed for …

We have designed, built and tested an anthropomorphic-scale surrogate spinal canal, for
use in preliminary evaluations of the performance characteristics of a novel intradural spinal …

We have designed, built, and tested an apparatus used for investigating the biomechanical
response of a novel intradural spinal cord stimulator to the simulated physiological …

Axial magnetic resonance images of the thoracic spinal cord of 50 patients are analyzed in
order to measure the length of the dorsal arc span between the dorsal root entry zones for …

Spinal cord stimulation currently relies on extradural electrode arrays that are separated
from the spinal cord surface by a highly conducting layer of cerebrospinal fluid. It has …

Introduction: Intradural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may offer significant therapeutic
benefits for those with intractable axial and extremity pain, visceral pain, spasticity …

Introduction Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective procedure for the treatment of
neuropathic extremity pain, with success rates approaching 70%. However, mechanical …
