A partir de estudios experimentales previos que demuestran que la estimulación eléctrica de la médula cervical produce un aumento de flujo sanguíneo carotídeo y cerebral en modelos de isquemia cerebral, se ha aplicado esta técnica en 10 pacientes con síndrome de baja perfusión cerebral. Aunque no de forma constante, se ha comprobado una mejoría en el nivel de alerta, estado emocional y en la realización de actos cotidianos. Se han detectado mediante SPECT incrementos en el flujo en el área de penumbra isquémica perilesional.
Based on previous experimental studies showing that cervical spinal cord stimulation increases carotid and brain blood flow in brain iscnemia models, this technique was used in 10 patients presenting with various cerebral low perfusion syndromes. Though not constant, an increase in alertness, retention, speech, emotional status and performance in skilled acts was achieved. SPECT readings showed an increase in blood flow in the penumbra perilesional area.
