| Abstract |
Electrical stimulation of the nervous system is a method used for several centuries which just in the past decades received wide recognition as an effective and safe modality in the management of neuropathic pain and other maladies. Explosion of new technologies and discovery of new neuromodulation targets are two parallel and interconnected processes. Using a paraphrase from the famous novel of Samuel Sham, The House of God, one can say that there is no nervous tissue in the human body that cannot be reached with a stimulating lead directed by a good strong arm. Neuromodulation devices are being used for the stimulation of the entire nervous system, from the cutaneous terminals to brain centers. Autonomic regulation is also subject to stimulation via implanted devices. Future research and development is tightly related to the process of discovery, experimental courage, and philosophical exploration of neurobehavioral mechanisms. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 November 2014.
All research outputs
#12,894,736
of 22,745,803 outputs
Outputs from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#466
of 799 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#155,525
of 307,254 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#2
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,745,803 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 799 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 307,254 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
