Introduction
-
Phase 1 - corresponding nerve injured neurons in S1 process sensory information from other areas (3-6 months)
-
-
-
Phase 2 - the injured nerve is regenerated - neurons in S1 start process the "initial" afferent information again
Rehab purpose : use the afferent signal through the injured (and now regenerated) nerve to stimulate S
How ? Combining sensory relearning (classic) and sensory co-activation (vibration or electrical stimulation)
Co-activation : learning occurs in response to exposure to repetitive sensory stimulation Dinse et al 2019 Beste et Dinse 2013

High-Frequency Repetitive Sensory Stimulation improves sensory loss in CRPS1 patients David et al 2015
Combining motor and sensory activation : effects on somatosensory cortex Ladda et al 2014 Lissek et al 2009
cf Hebbian learning ('units that fire together, wire together') Munakata et al 2004 : synchronous neural activity is generated by simultaneous tactile ‘co-stimulation’ of a large number of receptive fields
Training independant sensory learning in tactile modality Pleger et al 2001, Pleger et al 2003, Godde et al 2000 (repeated stimulations of the fingertip, either cutaneously or electrically, in order to induce plasticity in the corresponding brain areas)
EEG : increase in the size of the cortical representation specific to the co-activated finger + improvement in 2PD threshold Pleger et al 2001, Pleger et al 2003
changes in cortical excitability : Paired-pulse suppression was reduced after co-activation (= increased excitability = LTP induction), correlated with gain in performance Höffken et al 2007
PROTOCOLE : High-frequency stimulation consisted of cutaneous pulse trains applied to the tip of the right index finger with a stimulation frequency of 20 Hz. Each train consisted of 20 single pulses of 20 Hz lasting one second with an inter-train interval
