Medial thalamotomies were introduced in the late 1940s. Pain relief was shown to be achieved for all body locations. With some exceptions, these early relatively small series showed frequent, more […]
Learn More >Application of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Neuropathic Pain: A Narrative Review.
Neuropathic pain, affecting 6.9-10% of the general population, has a negative impact on patients’ quality of life and potentially leads to functional impairment and disability. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)-a […]
Learn More >A low-energy shock wave (LESW) has therapeutic effects on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS); however, its mechanism of action remains unclear. We explored the effects of LESW on the […]
Learn More >Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that causes severe loss of motor, sensory and autonomic functions. Additionally, many individuals experience chronic neuropathic pain that is often refractory to […]
Learn More >Postural control deficits are a potential cause of persistent and recurrent pain in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Although some studies have confirmed that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex […]
Learn More >Functional dyspepsia (FD), which has a complicated pathophysiologic process, is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Gastric hypersensitivity is the key pathophysiological factor in patients with FD with chronic visceral pain. […]
Learn More >Activation of central autonomic pathways, including those regulating the arterial baroreflex, might reduce acute pain. We tested the hypothesis that transcutaneous auricular nerve stimulation (TAN) reduces pain after orthopaedic trauma […]
Learn More >Moderate-to-severe acute pain is prevalent in many healthcare settings and associated with adverse outcomes. Peripheral nerve blockade using traditional needle-based and local anesthetic-based techniques improves pain outcomes for some patient […]
Learn More >The peripheral nervous system is an increasingly popular target for chronic pain treatment modalities. Noninvasive neuromodulation has shown promise at providing significant chronic pain relief with a much safer side […]
Learn More >The clinical use of brain stimulation is attractive for patients who have side effects or tolerance. However, studies on insular cortex (IC) stimulation are lacking in neuropathic pain. The present […]
