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.

An Overview of Chronic Spinal Pain: Revisiting Diagnostic Categories and Exploring an Evolving Role for Neurostimulation.

TL;DR: The best evidence (Level I) currently available suggests that spinal cord stimulation is a safe, effective, and durable treatment for chronic spinal pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurostimulation should be used as a method of reducing or eliminating opioids in the treatment of chronic pain: the digital drug revolution.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that this technique can reduce the need for opioids, reduce pain, improve quality of life and reduce healthcare utilization and costs.

The Efficacy of BurstDR Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Abdominal Pain: A Clinical Series.

TL;DR: BurstDRTM SCS might be effective as a treatment for abdominal pain syndromes, sustained for greater than two years, and long-term follow up is necessary to determine its durability.

Spinal Cord Stimulators: A Comparison of the Trial Period Versus Permanent Outcomes.

TL;DR: Discrepancies observed in symptom alleviation between percutaneous trials and permanent placement in the acute 6-week postoperative period can have a significant effect on patient perceived outcomes.

Towards a future VR-TENS multimodal platform to treat neuropathic pain

TL;DR: In this article, a multimodal non-invasive platform was proposed to enhance the naturalness of the noninvasive electrical stimulation by combining Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and virtual reality.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
