METHOD FOR PREDICTING CUTANEOUS AFFERENT NERVE FIBER EXCITATION

摘要

Aspects of the invention relate to a device for predicting cutaneous afferent nerve fiber excitation from an electrical potential applied to a cutaneous tissue by an electrode and methods of using the same. In some embodiments, such devices and methods concern the electrical stimulation of nerves in the skin so as to ameliorate pain in a subject. Accordingly, methods making and using cutaneous electrodes are provided.
