Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation for Central Post-Stroke Pain

Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a neuropathic-type of pain that affects about 1-8% of patients after stroke (Andersen et al., 1995; Bowsher 1993), and is characterized by pain and sensory dysfunction involving the area of the body that has been affected by the stroke (Leijon et al., 1998). Once present, CPSP rarely abates, causing a considerable long-term impact on patient’s quality of life ...

Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on pain intensity in patients with chronic low back pain: a systematic review of literature

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is common musculoskeletal disorder in today’s societies, which lead to inducing chronic pain and consequently pathological changes in brain function in most of the patients. Therefore, using effective intervention for controlling chronic pain in patients with LBP is very important. According to the evidence, some studies indicated that pain intensity is decreas...
