OBJECTIVES: The combination of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and motor practice is based on the theory of neuromodulation and use-dependent plasticity. Predictive planning of occupational therapy (OT) is important for patients with rTMS conditioning. Recovery characteristics based on the severity of pretreatment upper extremity paralysis can guide the patient's practice plan for using the paretic hand. Therefore, we evaluated the recovery of patients with upper limb paralysis due to stroke who underwent a novel intervention of rTMS combined with OT (NEURO) according to the severity of upper limb paralysis based on the scores of the Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE) with recovery in proximal upper extremity, wrist, hand, and coordination...

BACKGROUND: Chronic spasticity causes significant impairment and financial burden. Oral baclofen, the first-line therapy, can have intolerable, dose-dependent side effects. Targeted drug delivery (TDD) through intrathecal baclofen delivers smaller amounts of baclofen into the thecal sac via an implanted infusion system. However, the health care resource utilization of patients with spasticity receiving TDD has not been studied extensively. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult patients who received TDD for spasticity between 2009 and 2017 were identified using the IBM MarketScan® data bases...

OBJECTIVE: High-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF-SCS) is a treatment option for postsurgical persistent spinal pain syndrome (type 2 PSPS). We aimed to determine the health care costs associated with this therapy in a nationwide cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: IBM Marketscan® Research Databases were used to identify patients who underwent HF-SCS implantation from 2016 to 2019. Inclusion criteria included prior spine surgery or diagnoses of PSPS or postlaminectomy pain syndrome any time within the two years before implantation...

INTRODUCTION: Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has shown superior relief from overall pain and a reduction in back and leg pain compared with traditional tonic neurostimulation therapies. However, nearly 80% of patients have two or more noncontiguous pain areas. This can provide challenges in effectively programming stimulation and long-term therapy efficacy. Multiarea DeRidder Burst programming is a new option to treat multisite pain by delivering stimulation to multiple areas along the spinal cord...

OBJECTIVES: Patients with spinal lesions or vertebral compression fractures from multiple myeloma often present with back pain that restricts their ability to lie flat and prevents them from undergoing cancer treatment. Temporary, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been described for cancer pain secondary to oncologic surgery or neuropathy/radiculopathy from tumor invasion. The purpose of this case series is to show the use of PNS as an analgesic bridge therapy to treat myeloma-related back pain and allow patients to complete their course of radiation...

OBJECTIVES: Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is an effective technique in treating chronic intractable pain for some patients. However, most studies are small case series (n < 20). Heterogeneity in technique and patient selection makes it difficult to draw consistent conclusions. In this study, we present one of the largest case series of subdural MCS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of patients who underwent MCS at our institute between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed...

OBJECTIVE: Functional dyspepsia (FD), which has a complicated pathophysiologic process, is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Gastric hypersensitivity is the key pathophysiological factor in patients with FD with chronic visceral pain. Auricular vagal nerve stimulation (AVNS) has the therapeutic effect of reducing gastric hypersensitivity by regulating the activity of the vagus nerve. However, the potential molecular mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of AVNS on the brain-gut axis through the central nerve growth factor (NGF)/ tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA)/phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-γ) signaling pathway in FD model rats with gastric hypersensitivity...

BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming is time intensive. Recent advances in sensing technology of local field potentials (LFPs) may enable improvements. Few studies have compared the use of this technology with standard of care. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: Sensing technology of subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS leads in Parkinson's disease (PD) is reliable and predicts the optimal contacts and settings as predicted by clinical assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five subjects with PD (n = 9 hemispheres) with bilateral STN DBS and sensing capable battery replacement were recruited...

BACKGROUND: Directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads allow a fine-tuning control of the stimulation field, however, this new technology could increase the DBS programming time because of the higher number of the possible combinations used in directional DBS than in standard nondirectional electrodes. Neuroimaging leads localization techniques and local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from DBS electrodes implanted in basal ganglia are among the most studied biomarkers for DBS programing...

OBJECTIVES: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a signature injury of military conflicts and is prevalent in veterans with major depressive disorder (MDD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although therapeutic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce symptoms of depression and PTSD, whether traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects TMS responsiveness is not yet known. We hypothesized mTBI would be associated with higher pretreatment symptom burden and poorer TMS response...

BACKGROUND: Outcomes after spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement are affected by psychologic comorbidities. It is part of routine practice to do psychologic assessments prior to SCS trials to assess for the presence of maladaptive behavioral patterns. However, few studies have sought to quantify the effect of psychiatric comorbidities on complications, reoperation, and readmission rates. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of psychiatric comorbidities with postprocedural outcomes after SCS implantation...

OBJECTIVES: Small-diameter afferent axons carry various sensory signals that are critical for vital physiological conditions but sometimes contribute to pathologies. Infrared (IR) neural inhibition (INI) can induce selective heat block of small-diameter axons, which holds potential for translational applications such as pain management. Previous research suggested that IR-heating-induced acceleration of voltage-gated potassium channel kinetics is the mechanism for INI. Therefore, we hypothesized that other heating methods, such as resistive heating (RH) in a cuff, could reproduce the selective inhibition observed in INI...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of ten sessions of active transcranial direct current stimulation transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (2 mA) with 13:20:13 stimulation at M1 in women with fibromyalgia (FM). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article that uses this protocol in patients with FM. The main hypothesis is that the protocol would be effective in decreasing pain and that the results would last for up to 90 days. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a randomized clinical trial with 35 women with FM divided into two groups, active tDCS group and sham tDCS group...

OBJECTIVES: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat chronic neuropathic pain has shown variable outcomes. Variations in pain etiologies and DBS targets are considered the main contributing factors, which are, however, underexplored owing to a paucity of patient data in individual studies. An updated meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the influence of these factors on the outcome of DBS for chronic neuropathic pain is warranted, especially considering that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has emerged recently as a new DBS target...

OBJECTIVES: The insula is a brain area involved in the modulation of autonomic responses. Previous studies have focused mainly on its heart rate regulatory function, but its role in vascular control is not well defined. Ictal/postictal blood pressure (BP) fluctuations may have a role in the pathogenesis of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. This study aims to characterize the insular influence on vascular regulation through direct high-frequency electrical stimulation (E-stim) of different insular regions during stereo-electroencephalographic studies...
