Functional and Metabolic Changes in the Brain in Neuropathic Pain Syndrome against the Background of Chronic Epidural Electrostimulation of the Spinal Cord

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Changes in functional and metabolic activities of the brain were evaluated by EEG and positron-emission/computer tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in patients with neuropathic pain syndrome previous to and 3 months after implantation of a system for chronic epidural spinal cord stimulation. In most cases, the use of a nerve stimulator was followed by alleviation of neuropathic pain and partial normalization of functional and metabolic activities of brain structures responsible for pain perception, emotiogenic, behavioral, and autonomic responses.
