Temporary persistence of conduction block after prolonged Kilohertz Frequency Alternating Current (KHFAC) on rat sciatic nerve

摘要

ObjectiveApplication of Kilohertz Frequency Alternating Current (KHFAC) waveforms can result in nerve conduction block that is induced in less than a second. Conduction recovers within seconds when KHFAC is applied for about 5 – 10 minutes. This study investigated the effect of repeated and prolonged application of KHFAC on rat Sciatic nerve with bipolar platinum electrodes.
