Abstract

Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) was introduced in 1985 and has been tested extensively for different types of peripheral and central neuropathic pain syndromes (eg, central poststroke pain, phantom limb pain, trigeminal neuropathic pain, migraines, etc). The motor cortex can be stimulated through different routes, including subdural, epidural, and transcranial.
