The tANS involved the use of a train of monopolar, current, biphasic pulses composed of rectangular cathodic ic and anodic phases ia and globule-like platinum stimulating electrodes. The parameters of the stimulating pulses were as follows: frequency f = 45.5 Hz, cathodic phase width tc = 200 micros, anodic phase width ta = 200 micros, interphase delay d =180 micros, pulse-train duration 2.0 s and time gap between pulse trains 1.0 s. The results show that tANS at predefined sites on the CC produce measurable effects on the assessed vital functions. In conclusion, tANS witbih an increased number of channels, has the potential to be used in the treatment of certain disordersTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za kovinske materiale in tehnologije
