Verum-RSS
RSS Stimulation with high frequency electric pulses
RSS (repetitive sensory stimulation)
RSS is a high frequency electrical stimulation protocol delivered to the peripheral nerves (median and ulnar nerve) of the hand. The signals are generated by a TENS-stimulator and are conveyed to each finger of the hand via a custom-made hand-shaped device with conductive contacts at each fingertip and at the palmar base.
In case of the sham-stimulation no pulses are transmitted.
Sham-RSS
Sham RSS Stimulation (no pulses are transmitted)
SHAM-RSS
The same device as in the RSS intervention is used, but no electrical stimuli are transmitted.
