Motor cortex stimulation for neuropathic pain: From phenomenology to mechanisms.
Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is relatively recent neurosurgical technique for pain control, the use of which is growing steadily since its description in the last decade. While clinical series show that at least 50% of patients with chronic, pharmacoresistant neuropathic pain may benefit from this technique, the mechanisms of action of MCS remain elusive. In this review, we synthesise a numbe...
متن کاملMotor cortex stimulation for central and neuropathic pain: current status.
The idea that central pain syndromes can be treated by manipulation of the motor cortex derives from the landmark observations of Penfield (Lende et al., 1971). While reoperating on patients on whom he had previously resected a portion of the post central gyrus for epilepsy and whose seizures recurred, Penfield observed that stimulation of the corresponding primary motor cortex elicited sensory...
متن کاملMotor cortex electric stimulation for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
OBJECTIVE Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is considered to be an effective treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of MCS for treating neuropathic pain. METHOD 27 patients with chronic neuropathic pain were operated. Electrodes were implanted with the use of an stereotactic frame. Electrophysiological evaluations (motor stimulation and so...
متن کاملMotor Cortex Stimulation for Trigeminal Neuropathic or Deafferentation Pain: An Institutional Case Series Experience
Background: Trigeminal neuropathy is a rare, devastating condition that can be intractable and resistant to treatment. When medical treatment fails, invasive options are limited. Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a relatively recent technique introduced to treat central neuropathic pain. The use of MCS to treat trigeminal neuropathic or deafferentation pain is not widespread and clinical data i...
