Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal cord stimulation versus conventional medical management for neuropathic pain: a multicentre randomised controlled trial in patients with failed back surgery syndrome.
Krishna Kumar,Rod S Taylor,Line Jacques,Sam Eldabe,Mario Meglio,Joan Molet,Simon Thomson,Jim O'Callaghan,Elon Eisenberg,Germain Milbouw,Eric Buchser,Gianpaolo Fortini,Jonathan Richardson,Richard B. North +13 more
TL;DR: In selected patients with FBSS, SCS provides better pain relief and improves health‐related quality of life and functional capacity compared with CMM alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of spinal cord stimulation in neuropathic pain are sustained: a 24-month follow-up of the prospective randomized controlled multicenter trial of the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation.
Krishna Kumar,Rod S Taylor,Line Jacques,Sam Eldabe,Mario Meglio,Joan Molet,Simon Thomson,Jim O'Callaghan,Elon Eisenberg,Germain Milbouw,Eric Buchser,Gianpaolo Fortini,Jonathan Richardson,Richard B. North +13 more
TL;DR: The results of the 6-month Prospective Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial of the Effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation (i.e., PROCESS) showed that SCS offered superior pain relief, health-related quality of life, and functional capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct demonstration of the effect of lorazepam on the excitability of the human motor cortex
V. Di Lazzaro,A. Oliviero,Mario Meglio,Beatrice Cioni,Gianpiero Tamburrini,P. Tonali,P. Tonali,Jc Rothwell +7 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided that lorazepam increases the excitability of inhibitory circuits in the human motor cortex as tested using transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological basis of the effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation of the human motor cortex.
V. Di Lazzaro,Fabio Pilato,Michele Dileone,Paolo Profice,Antonio Oliviero,Paolo Mazzone,Angelo Insola,Federico Ranieri,Mario Meglio,P.A. Tonali,John C. Rothwell +10 more
TL;DR: ITBS affects the excitability of excitatory synaptic inputs to pyramidal tract neurones that are recruited by a TMS pulse, both in the stimulated hemisphere and in the contralateral hemisphere, however the circuits affected differ from those influenced by the inhibitory, cTBS, protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal cord stimulation in management of chronic pain. A 9-year experience.
TL;DR: The experience supports the conclusion that the best indications for SCS are vasculopathic pain and post-herpetic neuralgia and no clinical usefulness was found forSCS in cancer pain or in central deafferentation types of pain.
