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.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Implants for Alcohol Addiction: A Feasibility Study

TL;DR: Results suggest that rdACC stimulation using implanted electrodes may potentially be a feasible method for supressing alcohol craving in individuals with severe alcohol use disorder, but to further establish safety and efficacy, larger controlled clinical trials are needed.

Evaluation of Abbott’s BurstDR stimulation device for the treatment of chronic pain

TL;DR: The goal of this therapy is to use more than one waveform in the same device so that lost efficacy from tSCS can be salvaged, thus improving both quality of life and cost–effectiveness of SCS by reducing explant rates.

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.
