Effects of Combined Electrical Stimulation of the Dorsal Column and Dorsal Roots on Wide‐Dynamic‐Range Neuronal Activity in Nerve‐Injured Rats

Electrical stimulation at the dorsal column (DC) and dorsal root (DR) may inhibit spinal wide‐dynamic‐range (WDR) neuronal activity in nerve‐injured rats. The objective of this study was to determine if applying electrical conditioning stimulation (CS) at both sites provides additive or synergistic benefits.
