Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS) - Beyond Neuropathic Pain

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) - The Technique

A peripheral neuropathy model that explains myofascial pain in a new way is introduced (7). Instead of presuming pain to be signals of tissue injury, the model blames pain on abnormal function in nerves (notably, peripheral neuropathy, when there is disturbed function in the peripheral nervous system). The model explains how pain can occur and persist without any evidence of injury or inflammat...

Our study emphasises the need for additional, carefully designed studies when applying this potentially useful method in the search for genetic factors contributing to the aetiology of Parkinson's disease.tion between the oxidative polymorphism and early onset of Parkinson's disease.

Marcus Gunn phenomenon.

SINCE the jaw-winking phenomenon was first described by Marcus Gunn (1863), many such cases with other associated findings have been reported. Falls, Krause, and Cotterman (1949) reviewed 115 cases, Simpson (1956) published a comprehensive study, and Dhir and Agarwal (1961) reported a case following ptosis surgery. This case is reported because of an associated peculiarity which does not appear...

Marcus Gunn phenomenon

Marcus Gunn phenomenon consists of a synkenesis between the masticatory musculature and the levator muscle of the contralateral eyelid. It is seen in patients with congenital ptosis. The phenomenon is normally unilateral, but bilateral cases are not unknown. Its exact etiology is not known. We report a case of bilateral Marcus Gunn phenomenon. The ptosis is secondary to a conflict between the o...
