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.

Is Preoperative Pain Duration Important in Spinal Cord Stimulation? A Comparison Between Tonic and Burst Stimulation

TL;DR: A new stimulation design called burst stimulation has been developed that seems to exert its effect by modulating both the medial and lateral pain pathways and has a better effect than tonic stimulation on global pain, back pain, and limb pain.

Anterior Cingulate Implant for Alcohol Dependence: Case Report.

TL;DR: This case report proposes a new pathophysiology-based target for the surgical treatment of alcohol dependence and suggests that larger studies are warranted to explore this potentially promising avenue for the treatment of intractable alcohol dependence with or without anxiety and agoraphobia.
Journal Article

Anesthetic Considerations and Perioperative Management of Spinal Cord Stimulators: Literature Review and Initial Recommendations.

TL;DR: A comprehensive, cumulative review of recommendations for perioperative SCS management is presented and generalized recommendations include turning the amplitude of the SCS to the lowest possible SETTING and turning off prior to any procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Trial Outcomes After Conversion to a Multiple Waveform SCS System.

TL;DR: Evaluated SCS outcomes in subjects given trials with multiple waveforms who did not experience satisfactory trial relief with 10 kHz stimulation only, finding that single‐therapy trials do not always lead to permanent implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visions on the future of medical devices in spinal cord stimulation: what medical device is needed?

TL;DR: Recently burst stimulation and 10 kHz stimulation have been developed as novel stimulation designs and appear to be superior to classical tonic stimulation in the amount of responders and the amounts of pain suppression.

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.
