Peculiarities of neurostimulation by intense nanosecond pulsed electric fields: how to avoid firing in peripheral nerve fibers

Intense pulsed electric fields (PEF) are a novel modality for the efficient and targeted ablation of tumors by electroporation. The major adverse side effects of PEF therapies are strong involuntary muscle contractions and pain. Nanosecond-range PEF (nsPEF) are less efficient at neurostimulation and...
