No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In order to create insights in the effects of Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) on intractable pain, an open observational study was started in 2003. The aim of this research is to:

1. to determine the clinical effectivity of MCS on pain intensity after 1 month, 1 year and 3 years of stimulation
2. to determine the clinical effectivity of MCS on QoL and daity medication intake after 3 years of MCS

Conditions

  • Pain, Intractable
  • Central Pain Syndrome
  • Facial Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Specify, model 3998, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA

In MCS, an electrode is placed perpendicular to the central sulcus in the epidural space (Specify, model 3998, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) in order to obtain pain relief.
