title: Functional stimulation of the spinal cord in multiple sclerosis.
abstract: The authors describe the effect of electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in multiple sclerosis. After considering the nature of multiple sclerosis, the authors describe the background, character, mode and method of delivering electrical fields to the spinal cord. The results of this form of treatment and the implications of these observations in terms of physiologic mechanisms are discussed.
