Study Constant Current or Constant Voltage Stimulation Pulse Rate Pulse Duration Pulse Amplitude Channel Delay Out-of-phase or In-Phase Duty Cycle
Popović Maneski et al., 2011 [47] Constant current, (voltage maximum limit: 95V) 40 Hz 250us Minimal value (between 0 and 50mA) able to induce full flexion or extension at the wrist. 0-1000ms Out-of-phase N/A
Dosen et al., 2015 [68] Constant current. (voltage maximum not reported) 100 Hz 300 us Current amplitude to obtain flexion or extension of the joint (motor stimulation). Mean (wrist flexor) 15 +− 3 mA, mean (wrist extensor) 18 +− 5 mA.
Highest current amplitude which did not cause muscle contraction (sensor stimulation). Mean (wrist flexor) 9 +− 3 mA, mean (wrist extensor) 10 +− 3mA.
N/A Out-of-phase N/A
Widjaja et al., 2011 [69] Constant current. (voltage maximum not reported) 25 Hz 200 us 23 mA N/A Out-of-phase – possibly only applied to wrist extensors. N/A
Pahwa et al., 2019 [17] and Isaacson et al., 2020 [53] Constant current. (voltage maximum not reported) 150 Hz 300 us biphasic pulses, 50 us interpulse duration Highest tolerable stimulation level (below threshold for muscle contraction). Mean 5.4mA +− 2.9 N/A Alternating between stimulating the median and radial nerve at a frequency equal to the patient’s dominant tremor frequency as measured during a calibration period. N/A
Kim et al., 2020 [18] Constant voltage. (current limits not reported) 50, 100 or 200 Hz 200 us (biphasic, 100us per phase) Between 3.57 V to 17.33V depending on the minimal strength of stimulation that could be discerned by the subject. N/A In-phase for the closed-loop trials, based on the dominant tremor frequency. 12.5%, 25% and 37.5% of the tremor cycle were trialled.
Prochazka et al., 1992 [65] Constant current. (voltage maximum not reported) 30 Hz 200 us Between 20mA to 100mA, amplitude-modulated based on filtered tremor measurement signal. N/A Out-of-phase N/A
