MR thermometry imaging for low intensity focused ultrasound modulation of spinal nervous tissue.

Previously in rodent and swine models, we have shown that external low intensity focused ultrasound (liFUS) can be used to modulate pain responses. To ensure no adverse heating events occur […]

sPinal coRd stimulatiOn coMpared with lumbar InStrumEntation for low back pain after previous lumbar decompression (PROMISE): a prospective multicentre RCT.

Persistent spine pain syndrome type 2 (PSPS2) represents a significant burden to the individual and society. Treatment options include revision surgery, stabilisation surgery of the spine, neuromodulation, analgesics and cognitive […]

External trigeminal neurostimulation in patients with chronic migraine.

To assess the safety and efficacy of external trigeminal neurostimulation (e-TNS) as an add-on treatment in chronic migraine (CM) prophylaxis. A prospective observational open-label study was conducted on CM patients […]

Deep Brain Stimulation for Chronic Facial Pain: An Individual Participant Data (IPD) Meta-Analysis.

Despite available, advanced pharmacological and behavioral therapies, refractory chronic facial pain of different origins still poses a therapeutic challenge. In circumstances where there is insufficient responsiveness to pharmacological/behavioral therapies, deep […]

Non-invasive neuromodulation of the cervical vagus nerve in rare primary headaches.

Primary headache disorders can be remarkably disabling and the therapeutic options available are usually limited to medication with a high rate of adverse events. Here, we discuss the mechanism of […]

Non-Invasive Electric and Magnetic Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia.

Although fibromyalgia is defined by its core muscular nociceptive component, it also includes multiple dysfunctions that involve the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, immune, endocrine, as well as the central and peripheral nervous […]

Spinal Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 and Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor in the Prefrontal Cortex are Involved in Pain-induced Depression Relief via Ultrasound-guided Pulsed Radiofrequency in a Rat Spared Nerve Injury Model.

Pain-depression comorbidity has become a great burden to individuals and society. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying comorbid diseases have still not been fully revealed. Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on peripheral nerves, […]

Anticipating and preventing complications in spinal cord stimulator implantation.

Spinal cord stimulation is considered a minor elective procedure. The inherent goal is to provide safe, reliable, effective treatment with mitigation of known potential risk of adverse events.

Human pain ratings to electrical sinusoids increase with cooling through a cold-induced increase in C-fibre excitability.

Low-frequency sinusoidal current applied to human skin evokes local axon reflex flare and burning pain, indicative of C-fibre activation. Because topical cooling works well as a local analgesic, we examined […]

Narrative review of current neuromodulation modalities for spinal cord injury.

Neuromodulation is a developing field of medicine that includes a vast array of minimally invasive and non-invasive therapies including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagus nerve […]
