Peripheral 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 کاملPerspective: Peripheral nerve stimulation and peripheral nerve field stimulation birds of a different feather.
SCS has positively impacted the life and function of thousands. In contrast, stimulation of the peripheral nervous system, also FDA-approved for limited use, is employed to treat neuropathic pain arising from peripheral nerve dysfunction. Two, distinct therapies exist: 1) Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) therapy, which provides stimulus to a named nerve that innervates an area and 2) Peripher...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve field stimulation in chronic abdominal pain.
INTRODUCTION Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has become an accepted therapeutic modality for the treatment of intractable pain syndromes, primarily used today in the settings of failed back surgery syndrome, neuropathic back and limb pain. The use of spinal cord stimulators for peripheral nerve field electrostimulation is becoming increasingly recognized as a safe, effective alternative for chron...

The current study investigates a new model of barrel cortex activation using stimulation of the infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve. A robust and reproducible activation of the rat barrel cortex was obtained following trigeminal nerve stimulation. Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) effects were obtained in the primary somatosensory barrel cortex (S1BF), the secondary somatosensory cort...

that is rapidly gaining popularity for a variety of clinical conditions. Despite its straightforward nature, the modality has been for a long time treated as a ‘stepchild’ of the neuromodulation field, yielding the spotlight to the more ubiquitous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and the more elegant deep brain stimulation (DBS) approaches. Interestingly enough, the main theoretical explanation of...
