Abstract
Changes in the blood flow in the shin skin were observed by laser Doppler flowmetry after transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) by subthreshold bipolar pulses with a frequency of 30 Hz in 12 healthy subjects. It was found that TSCS in the area of the T11 and L1 vertebrae led to a significant increase in skin blood flow. The microcirculation rate increased by more than 85% relative to the baseline at a stimulus intensity of 90% of the motor threshold. Cutaneous blood flow activization by TSCS is implemented mainly through the antidromic stimulation of sensory nerve fibers. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator that contributes to vasodilation and increase in cutaneous blood flow upon TSCS. NO is predominantly of endothelial origin.Entities:
