Question 1

can we use tms (trans magnitic stimulation) for pain management?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: In conventional medicine, there has been no valid studies to suggest benefit from magnet therapy and many would suggest that it is quackery.  However, if it works for you for whatever reason, then use it., as it is generally accepted as harmless.

Question 2

is trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) the same thing as a spinal cord stimulator? differences?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Spinal cord simulator is surgically implanted.  The TENS unit is worn and can be removed and easily adjusted by you or a physical therapist. This picture is of  a typical TENS unit with its simulator, leads and adhesive electodes

Question 3

is sex avoided during icsi stimulation?

Accepted Answer

ICSI: ICSI is a process involving a variation of " in vitro fertilization" (IVF), in patients with a male partner with diminished sperm count, so sex or any male ejaculation from the partner whose sperm is utilized is generally recommended, as sexual activity on the part of the male may diminish further the available sperm.

Question 4

is nerve stimulation effected by taser?

Accepted Answer

You bet: Taser overloads the nerve-muscle connections causing total weakness and collapse if used properly, but occasionally can cause cardiovascular collapse in addition.

Question 5

whats transcranial magnetic stimulation?

Accepted Answer

Treats Depression: The brain is an electric organ as much as it is a chemical one.  Tms "activates" a specific part of the brain which relieves depression. It is safe and effective. It has been used to study and treat depression since the 1980s. It is given 5 days a week, 20minutes a session, for 4-6 weeks and can be very expensive.

Question 6

what is transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms)?

Accepted Answer

For depression: TMS is a treatment for depression. It is very well tolerated and may work when medications do not. In one study, about 60% get better w/ the treatment and about 40% have no symptoms of depression after the treatment.  It works by stimulating a part brain which modulates mood, called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It is beginning to be covered by more insurances. I highly recommend it.

Question 7

how to bring more stimulation to numb fingertips?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: If the numbness is due to treatable or reversible cause then treatment can restore the sensations otherwise it may be permanent.

Question 8

Question 9

what causes vaginal pain from clitoral stimulation?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: You should not have this problem. This needs to evaluated by your doctor. A neruologist to evaluate abnormal nerve activation may even be needed.

Question 10

sir,wat exactly physical stimulation means??

Accepted Answer

Since your question: ...is very non-specific, my answer will be as well.  In general, physical stimulation is an external sensation that can be detected by any of our senses.  The stimulus of light causes us to see.  The stimulus of sound waves causes us to hear.  A stimulus can be internal.  The stimulus of high blood sugar causes release of insulin.  These are just a few of MANY examples of physical stimuli.
