- W3111777654 abstract "Objective.Electrical preferential activation of small nociceptive fibers may be achieved with the use of specialized small area electrodes, however, the existing electrodes are limited to low stimulation intensities. As existing electrodes have been developed empirically, the present study aimed to use computational modeling and optimization techniques to investigate if changes in electrode design parameters could improve the preferential activation of small fibers.Approach.Two finite element models; one of a planar concentric and one of an intra-epidermal electrode were combined with two multi-compartmental nerve fiber models of an Aδ-fiber and an Aβ-fiber. These two-step hybrid models were used for the optimization of four electrode parameters; anode area, anode-cathode distance, cathode area, and cathode protrusion. Optimization was performed using a gradient-free bounded Nelder-Mead algorithm, to maximize the current activation threshold ratio between the Aβ-fiber model and the Aδ-fiber model.Main results.All electrode parameters were optimal at their lower bound, except the cathode protrusion, which was optimal a few micrometers above the location of the Aδ-fiber model. A small cathode area is essential for producing a high current density in the epidermal skin layer enabling activation of small fibers, while a small anode area and anode-cathode distance are important for the minimization of current spread to deeper tissues, making it less likely to activate large fibers. Combining each of the optimized electrode parameters improved the preferential activation of small fibers in comparison to existing electrodes, by increasing the activation threshold ratio between the two nerve fiber types. The maximum increase in the activation threshold ratio was 289% and 595% for the intra-epidermal and planar concentric design, respectively.Significance.The present study showed that electrical preferential small fiber activation can be improved by electrode design. Additionally, the results may be used for the production of an electrode that could potentially be used for clinical assessment of small fiber neuropathy." @default.
