To determine the relationship between various parameters of high-frequency biphasic stimulation (HFBS) and the recovery period of post-HFBS block of the pudendal nerve in cats. ⋯ HFBS of longer duration, higher intensity, and lower frequency can produce longer-lasting reversible post-HFBS block. This study is important for developing new methods to block nerve conduction by HFBS.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Comparison of Paresthesia Mapping to Anatomical Placement in Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation: Initial Trial Results of the Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Crossover, CRISP Study.
In this prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study, we compared the therapeutic efficacy of burst SCS delivered using a lead implanted with the paresthesia mapping approach to a lead implanted with an anatomic placement approach. ⋯ The trial results of this study suggest that similar clinical outcomes can be achieved in burst SCS when performing lead placement either using paresthesia mapping or anatomical placement with imaging references.
