Description: Mediums used between an electric conductor and the object to which the current is to be applied. In electrotherapy, electrodes are instruments with a point or surface from which to transmit electric current to the body of a patient or to another instrument; in electrodiagnosis, they are needles or metal plates used to stimulate or record the electrical activity of tissue. (From Dorland, 28th ed)

1.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2003 - "Test stimulation with a subdural multi-grid electrode and Resumes in the cetral sulcus were helpful in locating the best stimulation point for pain relief." 01/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: Test stimulation with a subdural multigrid electrode was helpful in locating the best stimulation point for pain relief." 01/01/2000 - "Testing performed with a subdural multiple-electrode grid was helpful in locating the best stimulation point for pain relief" 01/01/2000 - "In five patients we placed a 20- or 40-electrode grid in the subdural space to determine the best stimulation point for pain relief for a few weeks before definitive placement of a four-electrode array" 04/01/1980 - "One of the other two patients has had a complete remission of pain, apparently spontaneously, and the other had to have the electrodes removed after it retracted from his thalamus on two occasions" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Parkinson Disease (Parkinson's Disease) 11/01/2008 - "Most off-medication Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor subscale scores improved regardless of the type of electrode position" 11/01/2002 - "OBJECT: The authors sought to determine the location of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes that were most effective in treating Parkinson disease (PD)" 08/01/2004 - "METHODS: Seven patients with advanced Parkinson disease, who were markedly improved by bilateral STN high-frequency stimulation, underwent positron emission tomography with H2(15)O while the right STN electrode was turned off" 02/01/2002 - "Postoperative improvement in contralateral motor symptoms, which was assessed by assigning a lateralized motor subscore of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), and stimulus intensity required for optimal treatment results were correlated with the intracerebral position of the active electrode pole" 01/01/2008 - "PATIENT: A patient with Parkinson's disease underwent implantation of STN stimulation electrodes with good results on his motor symptoms" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
3.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2007 - "Our best results were obtained using plate electrodes to deliver across the tumor 80 pulses of 100 micros at 0.3 Hz with an electrical field magnitude of 2500 V/cm. These conditions induced complete regression in 12 out of 13 treated tumors, (92%), in the absence of tissue heating" 01/01/2008 - "There was substantial improvement in the visibility in 93.4% (15/16) of the partially visible tumors and in achieving a better path in 77.8% (7/9) of the tumors with a poor electrode path" 04/01/1999 - "CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous RF thermal ablation performed after TAE effectively treated HCCs larger than tumors suitable for segmental TAE or RF application alone; the result was achieved in two thirds of the cases in a single session with only one needle electrode insertion." 04/01/1989 - "Repeated use of direct current seemed to be effective in decreasing the cancer volume around electrodes" 05/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous radio-frequency ablation therapy using a clustered electrode is a safe and effective treatment of malignant liver tumors, if the tumor is not located near the large vessels."

4.	Seizures (Seizure) 08/01/1996 - "CONCLUSION: We have found intracerebral electrode placement to be as safe as subdural strip electrode placement and have found combined depth and strip electrode monitoring to be highly effective in localizing the onset zones of complex partial seizures" 12/01/1991 - "Among these recent observations are findings that (1) generalized seizures that are "adequate" by conventional duration criteria may be produced reliably, yet lack therapeutic properties; (2) the degree to which stimulus intensity exceeds seizure threshold is critical in determining the efficacy of unilateral ECT and also the speed of response with both unilateral and bilateral ECT; (3) the degree to which electrical dose exceeds seizure threshold, not the absolute dose administered, determines dosing effects on clinical outcome and on the magnitude of cognitive deficits; (4) there is marked variability among patients in their seizure thresholds that is related reliably to patient characteristics (sex, age) and treatment factors (electrode placement); and (5) seizure duration alone should not serve as a marker of the adequacy of treatment--there are complex relations between stimulus dosing and seizure duration, with the likelihood that substantially suprathreshold stimulation may result in shorter durations particularly early in the treatment course." 02/01/2007 - "CONCLUSIONS: Implantation of electrodes in the ANT and subsequent stimulation is associated with a significant reduction in seizure frequency" 04/01/2006 - "CONCLUSIONS: In this case of RSE, low frequency stimulation through subdural electrodes transiently suppressed seizures from all but one ictal onset zone and allowed significant reduction in seizure medication" 08/01/1998 - "However, in patients with CD, the presence of balloon cells was associated with significantly greater seizure frequency (p=0.009), and a significantly greater number of electrodes recording continuous frequent spiking (p=0.03)" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
5.	Shock 04/01/2000 - "Our main results are: application of the external current causes a parametric resonant drift similar to that reported in previous model computations; the ratio of the threshold of elimination of the spiral wave by multiple shocks to the threshold of conventional single shock defibrillation in our model for cardiac tissue is about 0.5, while earlier, less realistic models predicted the value about 0.2; we show that an important factor for successful defibrillation is the location of the feedback electrode and the best results are achieved if the feedback electrode or the ECG lead is located at the boundary (or edge) of the cardiac tissue; the "local" and the "global" feedback algorithms show similar efficiency." 01/01/2000 - "Electrical transthoracic cardioversion by using different electrode positions and additional pressure over the electrodes during shock delivery is a highly effective and well-tolerated method in restoration of sinus rhythm even in patients under conscious sedation" 10/01/1999 - "Recent advances in the technique of TADF, particularly in the design and configuration of the electrodes, and the use of an optimal biphasic shock waveform have dramatically improved the efficacy of TADF for the termination of all types of AF" 03/01/1997 - "We hypothesized that switching the current among multiple pathways at high frequency (HF) could allow the switching duty cycle to control the proportion of time-averaged current flowing in each pathway, thus permitting altered (possibly improved) defibrillation efficacy using the same electrodes and shock waveform" 01/01/2004 - "Although this course was judged to be effective in teaching delivery of counter-shocks, the need was identified for more emphasis on positioning of electrodes, pre-shock safety checks, airway opening, ventilation volume, checking for signs of a circulation, hand positioning, and depth and rate of chest compressions."
