“Spooky Action at a Distance”: The Most Comprehensive Review Yet of Physiologic Neuromodulation for Limb Preservation #ActAgainstAmputation #Neuromodulation #SpinalCordStimulation #CLTI @BurnsTrauma @KeckSchool_USC @ResearchatUSC @USC

Our new paper in Burns and Trauma presents the most comprehensive review yet of spooky action at a distance therapies for diabetic limb preservation — from spinal cord stimulation and splenic ultrasound to remote ischemic conditioning and tibial transport. Five modalities, three mechanistic pathways, one shared destination: tissue repair at a distance.

More good vibrations? Retention of Improved Plantar Sensation with Vibrating Insoles in Diabetic Neuropathy Patients #Neuromodulation #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot

Screenshot A recent pilot study published in Sensors (Basel) highlights the potential of vibrating insole therapy in improving plantar sensation for patients with Type II diabetes mellitus and sensory peripheral neuropathy. Over one month, 22 participants used vibrating insoles daily for 30 minutes. The study found significant improvements in vibration perception threshold (VPT), with average... Continue Reading →
