Peripheral nerve stimulation for the treatment of truncal pain.
Neuromodulation practitioners increasingly recognize the potential for peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNfS) to treat pain originating from the trunk. Conditions resulting in truncal pain that may respond to PNfS include cervical and lumbar postlaminectomy syndrome, inguinal neurapraxia, post-herpetic neuralgia, and post-thoracotomy pain. The focus of this chapter is to review the mechanism...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation for the treatment of chronic pain.
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the role of the implanted peripheral nerve stimulator in patients with pain in a peripheral nerve distribution. The current study is the largest in the literature that examines the role of the implantable peripheral nerve stimulator in the chronic pain patient. Our patient sample included 38 patients (with 41 nerve stimulators), consisting of 1...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation for trigeminal neuropathic pain.
Facial pain is a complex disease with a number of possible etiologies. Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is defined as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the trigeminal branch of the peripheral nervous system resulting in chronic facial pain over the distribution of the injured nerve. First line treatment of TNP includes management with anticonvulsant medication (carbamazepine, phenytoin, ga...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation in intractable neuropathic pain.
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a neurostimulation analgesic technique. PNS is utilized to treat peripheral neuropathic pain. It is highly sophisticated and a specialized technique used where other forms of treatment have failed. This paper describes the PNS procedure, its therapeutic principles, indications, and the comprehensive care for patients after the PNS implant. First, we summari...
متن کاملTrigeminal nerve stimulation may not be effective for the treatment of refractory partial seizures.
Commentary Stimulatory devices offer a novel approach for the treatment of refractory partial seizures. Both peripheral and central stim-ulatory devices that provide either continuous or responsive stimulation have been studied. Currently the only approved device is the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS). Stimulatory devices may provide a safe and well-tolerated means of reducing seizures for patient...
