Abstract
The ability of direct current (DC) to interrupt transmission along nerves and the potential application of this effect for analgesia has been known for many years. However, passing direct current into neural tissue via traditional materials causes tissue damage. Materials science innovations have enabled new protocols to deliver ‘DC-like’ waveforms at an ultra-low frequency (ULFTM). The ULFTM waveform has shown promise in both pre-clinical studies and initial clinical work. Here, we present data that demonstrate the modulating effect of ULFTM on sensory fibre conduction.
