Case Report
Low Frequency Pelvic Nerves Stimulation: Cutaneous Vasodilation and Restoration of Bone Density in Chronic Spinal Cord Injured People
Author(s): Marc Possover*
Objective: We reported recently on the effect of the LION procedure for recovery some walking functions in SCI
peoples. The objectives of the present studies were to determine the effect of the low-frequency stimulation of the
pelvic nerves on autonomic functions.
Design: Observational case report.
Setting: Tertiary referral unit specialized in neuropelveology.
Participants: Five patients with chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) who underwent a LION procedure to the
pelvic somatic nerves for the recovery of standing and walking motion.
Intervention: Patients underwent continuous low-frequency pelvic lumbosacral nerve neuromodulation.
Main Outcome Measures: DXA scans, plethysmography and lean body mass of the lower limbs before and at
follow-up two years after the LION procedur.. View More»
