Low-frequency, weak extradural stimulation in the management of intractable pain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low-frequency (1.6-2.2 Hz) and weak-intensity electrical stimulation in the spinal extradural space produced complete to partial pain relief in a majority of patients (22 of 25) who suffered from intractable pain. Also it produced analgesia or hypoalgesia over a wide area of the body surface in 19 of the 25.

The present study was a protocol for investigation of the effect of acetaminophen (i.p.) on pain induced by electrical stimulation. We used tail shock vocalization (TSV) test for measurement of the pain. In this test, the animals were restrained and stimulated by two electrode implanted on the middle of the animal’s tail. The latency from stimulation of the tail till vocalization of the animal ...

متن کاملDorsolateral prefrontal cortex transcranial magnetic stimulation and electrode implant for intractable tinnitus.
OBJECTIVE Tinnitus is a distressing symptom that affects up to 15% of the population; no satisfactory treatment exists. We present a novel surgical approach for the treatment of intractable tinnitus based on electrical extradural stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex via an electrode implant. Tinnitus can be considered an auditory phantom phenomenon similar to deafferentation pain i...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Low Frequency rTMS on Kindled Seizure in Rats
Introduction: Neural stimulation is a promising new technology for the treatment of medically-intractable seizures. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a simple, non-invasive, low cost technique which is widely used in neurophysiology. In a few studies that have been performed at different frequencies the therapeutic effects of this technique were not obvious. Repetition of low frequen...
متن کاملThe effect of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the treatment of aphasia caused by cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
Background: Aphasia is a common outcome of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) in which clinical interventions have limited effectiveness. Some evidence suggests that noninvasive stimulation of the brain can have beneficial effects in the treatment of CVA induced aphasia. In patients with motor aphasia, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is used to facilitate long-term improvement i...
