Abstract
Already in 1943 MARTINI, GUALTIEROTTI and MARZORATI (18) observed an anesthetic effect of repetitive electrical current application to the cat’s spinal cord. There has been renewed interest in this phenomenon recently, when electrical stimulation of the spinal cord (e.g. the dorsal columns) and of peripheral nerves was used in man for the relief from chronic pain (c.f. the clinical reports to this meeting). What is the neurophysiological basis of this beneficial therapeutic method?
