Burst spinal cord stimulation for limb and back pain.

TLDR
In contrast to tonic stimulation, burst stimulation was able to provide pain relief without the generation of paresthesias, permitting them to use a double-blinded placebo controlled approach.

Neurophysiological Comparison Among Tonic, High Frequency, and Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation: Novel Insights Into Spinal and Brain Mechanisms of Action

TL;DR: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective option for neuropathic pain treatment, and new technological developments, as high‐frequency (HF) and theta burst stimulation (TBS), have shown promising results.

Spinal cord stimulation in chronic neuropathic pain: mechanisms of action, new locations, new paradigms

TL;DR: Over the years, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has proven to be a valuable last-resort treatment option for awide variety of refractory pain disorders, such as painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).

How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.

TL;DR: Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.

Standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA): technical details.

TL;DR: The technical details of the method are presented, allowing researchers to test, check, reproduce and validate the new method, and a solution reported here yields images of standardized current density with zero localization error.

Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex.

TL;DR: These findings provide direct experimental evidence in humans linking frontal-lobe limbic activity with pain affect, as originally suggested by early clinical lesion studies.

Functional imaging of brain responses to pain. A review and meta-analysis (2000).

TL;DR: Data suggest that hemodynamic responses to pain reflect simultaneously the sensory, cognitive and affective dimensions of pain, and that the same structure may both respond to pain and participate in pain control.
