Novel Minimally Invasive Wireless Nanotechnology Neuromodulation System in the Management of Chronic Pain Syndromes
نویسنده
چکیده
Spinal cord stimulation has been utilized for over 40 years and has been proven to provide therapeutically effective pain relief from chronic conditions like failed back surgery, regional pain syndromes and neuralgias. Several measurable outcomes in VAS pain scores, disability scores and quality of life scales have shown consistent improvement with SCS in patients with back pain and leg pain [1-3].

متن کامل[Spinal cord stimulation for the management of chronic pain].
Neuromodulation techniques modify the activity of the central or peripheral nervous system. Spinal cord stimulation is a reversible and minimally invasive treatment whose efficacy and cost effectiveness are recognized for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain or ischemic pain. Spinal cord stimulation is not the option of last resort and should be considered among other options before prescr...

INTRODUCTION The Neuromodulation Appropriateness Consensus Committee (NACC) of the International Neuromodulation Society (INS) evaluated evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of neurostimulation to treat chronic pain, chronic critical limb ischemia, and refractory angina and recommended appropriate clinical applications. METHODS The NACC used literature reviews, expert opinion, clinical ...
متن کاملCurrent and future options for the management of phantom-limb pain
Phantom-limb pain (PLP) belongs among difficult-to-treat chronic pain syndromes. Treatment options for PLP are to a large degree implicated by the level of understanding the mechanisms and nature of PLP. Research and clinical findings acknowledge the neuropathic nature of PLP and also suggest that both peripheral as well as central mechanisms, including neuroplastic changes in central nervous s...
متن کاملRole of Neuromodulation and Optogenetic Manipulation in Pain Treatment
Neuromodulation, including invasive and non-invasive stimulation, has been used to treat intractable chronic pain. However, the mechanisms by which neuromodulation produces antinociceptive effect still remain uncertain. Optogenetic manipulation, a recently developed novel approach, has already proven its value to clinicians by providing new insights into mechanisms of current clinical neuromodu...
