ABSTRACT
Motor cortex electric stimulation has been reported to be effective for the treatment of central post-stroke pain and trigeminal neuropathic pain. Five patients with pain due to injury of the trigeminal nerve and with abnormalities of facial sensibility, as well as two patients suffering of a post-stroke thalamic pain, were subjected to stimulation applied epidurally on the motor cortex. Quadripolar electrodes were implanted under local anaesthesia and the precise location of the motor cortex was determined on three-dimensional surface MRI the day prior to surgery. In our experience, correct topographic localization of the electrode on the motor cortex seems to be crucial to obtain pain reduction.
