Motor cortex stimulation.
In 1991 Tsubokawa and colleagues first published their landmark results from a series in which epidural motor cortex stimulation (MCS) was used in the treatment of eight patients with central and neuropathic pain. In ensuing studies authors have elaborated on the indications, technique, hypotheical mechanisms, and beneficial results of this treatment. Epidural MCS is effective for trigeminal ne...
متن کاملClinical Policy Bulletin: Motor Cortex Stimulation
Policy Aetna considers motor cortex stimulation experimental and investigational for the treatment of the following indications (not an all-inclusive list) because its effectiveness has not been established: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Chronic refractory pain (e.g., central pain syndromes, peripheral neuropathic pain, phantom limb pain, and trigeminal neuropathic pain) Dysphagia Dystonia seco...
متن کاملMotor Cortex Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Motor Cortex Stimulation (MCS) is less efficacious than Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease. However, it might be proposed to patients excluded from DBS or unresponsive to DBS. Ten patients with advanced PD underwent unilateral MCS contralaterally to the worst clinical side. A plate electrode was positioned over the motor cortex in the epidural space through single burr hole aft...
متن کاملCerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex
The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with behavioral consequences on motor control and adaptation. Here we sought to induce bidirectional spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP)-like mo...
متن کاملEffect of Motor Cortex Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)on the Strength and Endurance performance of Healthy Collegiate Subjects
Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique used to modify the activity of the cortex of the brain. This form of current is capable of inducing changes in the electrical activity inside and outside of the neurons, which leads to a change in the resting membrane potential and thus improves the efficiency of the neural synapse. Therefore, the aim of th...
