LAS VEGAS—Prolonged monophasic peripheral electrical nerve stimulation can induce electrolysis, as evidenced by the generation of hydrogen gas and changes in pH, in normal saline, according to the results of an in vitro porcine study. However, the investigation found no visible gas production or pH alterations when charge-balanced biphasic stimuli were employed.
Although the researchers recognized the preliminary nature of their findings, they nevertheless believe the
