Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation (ES) and Botulinum toxin (BTX) injection as a neuromodulational therapy for treatment of three types of intractable impairments, i.e., remaining paresis after central nervous system damage, abnormal sensation and pain after stroke, and intractable overactive bladder. Combination therapy of BTX with ES provided improvement of upper limb function and long lasting spasticity reduction. Continuous application of ES to lower limb and use of EMG triggered ES showed possibility to improve gait function. Central pain was not reduced by BTX injection but pain threshold tended to normalize. Twopatients with intractable overactive bladder showed long lasting incontinence disappearance after combination therapy.
