TLDR
Heat transfer associated with the electrical recharging of transcutaneous neuromodulation devices was investigated by a combination of experimentation and numerical simulation.Abstract:
Heat transfer associated with the electrical recharging of transcutaneous neuromodulation devices was investigated by a combination of experimentation and numerical simulation. The investigation was performed for the most commonly used neuromodulation systems. Temperature elevations within perfused tissue were obtained. For one selected device, it is shown that temperature elevations are sufficiently moderate so as not to cause concern of injury.read more

Potential tissue damage from transcutaneous recharge of neuromodulation implants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a bio-heat transfer model to identify the magnitude and location in the tissue of the hot-spot temperature, and then used a tissue-damage integral to identify cell damage and/or necrosis.

Heat flow from rechargeable neuromodulation systems into surrounding media.
TL;DR: A synergistic investigation involving both experiment and numerical simulation was performed in vitro to determine the heat flow from rechargeable neuromodulation systems into surrounding media and found that for both components of MDT, substantially lower rates of heat flow were produced compared with those for ANS and BSC.
