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 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 کاملSpinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain: an evidence-based analysis.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this health technology policy assessment was to determine the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to manage chronic intractable neuropathic pain and to evaluate the adverse events and Ontario-specific economic profile of this technology. CLINICAL NEED SCS is a reversible pain therapy that uses low-voltage electrical pulses to manage chronic, intractable n...
متن کاملDrug-enhanced Spinal Cord Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective surgical treatment for neuropathic pain refractory to pharmacological therapy. For many patients suffering from this type of chronic pain, SCS is in fact the ultimate treatment option. However, 30 to 40 percent of well selected patients fail to obtain useful pain relief with SCS, and in some patients an initial good analgesic effect diminishes over ...
متن کاملModeling Subcutaneous Stimulation of Spinal Cord for Neuropathic Pain Treatment
Spinal stimulation for neuropathic treatment was modeled by incorporating and inhibitory junctions and a volume conductor into Hodgkin-Huxley and Frankenhaeuser-Huxley axon models. Results indicate successful merging of the models at low resistivity values but also show that these two mechanisms operate independently of one another. At high resistivity values, the model no longer produces relia...
