BurstDR spinal cord stimulation rebalances pain input and pain suppression in the brain in chronic neuropathic pain.

Chronic pain is processed by at least three well-known pathways, two pain provoking pathways including a medial ‘suffering’ and lateral ‘painfulness’ pathway. A third descending pain pathway modulates pain but […]
