Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation

Transcutaneous spinal stimulation will be delivered for 30 minutes using biphasic pulses. A single cathode electrode will be placed over the skin of the back spine at the T11/T12 spinous interspace. Two reference electrodes will be placed over the stomach. Stimulation intensity will be set to 0.8x reflex threshold, as determined by posterior root muscle reflex testing before the intervention. Treatments will be a minimum of 72 hours apart.
