Effects of Percutaneous Neuromodulation on Plasticity in the Somatosensory System
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound guided percutaneous neuromodulation for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Echography guided percutaneous neuromodulation is a physical therapy technique, whose main objective is the treatment of pain with direct stimulation of the peripheral nerves using a rome needle of acupuncture as an active electrode for applying currents of electrostimulation. The neurophysiological basis and the effects on the sensory and motor systems of this technique are not characterised. The present study proposes to perform the intervention on the area adjacent to the median nerve and to apply different stimulation protocols on healthy subjects to answer those questions.
