Tonic Versus Burst DR(TM) Epidural Motor Cortex Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain
Completed
- Conditions
- Neuropathic Pain
- Interventions
- Other: Retrospective analysis of patients' choice
- Registration Number
- NCT05984329
- Brief Summary
Epidural stimulation of the primary motor cortex (PMC) is indicated for the relief of neuropathic pain refractory to pharmacological treatment.
- Detailed Description
The main objective of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of two distinct waveforms (i.e. tonic versus Burst DR(TM)) delivered by an epidural stimulator of the (primary) motor cortex in patients suffering from neuropathic pain resistant to the best pharmacological treatment.
