Journal ArticleDOI
Conduction block of whole nerve without onset firing using combined high frequency and direct current.
D. Michael Ackermann,D. Michael Ackermann,Niloy Bhadra,Niloy Bhadra,Emily L. Foldes,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore +7 more
TL;DR: Block of the onset response resulting from 40 kHz current using DC was achieved in each of the six animals in which it was attempted; however, DC was found to produce a prolonged conduction failure that likely resulted from nerve damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency- and amplitude-transitioned waveforms mitigate the onset response in high-frequency nerve block.
Meana Gerges,Emily L. Foldes,Emily L. Foldes,D. Michael Ackermann,Narendra Bhadra,Narendra Bhadra,Niloy Bhadra,Niloy Bhadra,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore +10 more
TL;DR: A method to minimize the onset response by initiating the block using a stimulation paradigm with a high frequency and large amplitude, and then transitioning to a low-frequency and low-amplitude waveform, reducing the currents required to maintain the conduction block is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Nerve Cuff Electrode Geometry on Onset Response Firing in High-Frequency Nerve Conduction Block
TL;DR: The data suggest that the onset response consists of two different phases: one phase which is responsive to experimental variables such as electrode geometry and waveform amplitude, and one which is not and appears to be inherent to the transition to the blocked state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conduction block of peripheral nerve using high-frequency alternating currents delivered through an intrafascicular electrode
D. Michael Ackermann,Emily L. Foldes,Niloy Bhadra,Niloy Bhadra,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore,Kevin L. Kilgore +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that high‐frequency conduction block is feasible using intrafascicular electrodes using extraneural (cuff) electrodes to achieve Conduction block.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical conduction block in large nerves: high-frequency current delivery in the nonhuman primate.

TL;DR: This study in nonhuman primates shows reliable conduction block in large‐diameter nerves (up to 4.1 mm) with relatively low‐threshold current amplitude and only moderate nerve discharge prior to the onset of block.
