Subcortical electrical stimulation for control of intractable pain in humans: Report of 122 cases (1970–1984)
Abstract
✓ Chronic electrical stimulation of the subcortical area of the brain by implanted electrodes provides satisfactory control of a number of intractable pain syndromes that are refractory to medication. This series of 122 patients who underwent electrode implantation for the control of severe chronic pain was evaluated over a follow-up period of 2 to 14 years. Of the 65 patients with pain of peripheral origin, who were treated with stimulation of the periaqueductal gray region (PAG), 50 obtained successful pain control. Of 76 patients with a deafferentation pain syndrome, 44 obtained control of the dysesthesia with stimulation of the subcortical somatosensory region. Nineteen patients with both leg and back pain received electrodes in the PAG and the somatosensory regions; whereas back pain was relieved by PAG stimulation, dysesthetic leg pain was controlled more effectively by somatosensory region stimulation. The electrical stimulation technique appears to provide long-term pain control safely, with few side effects or complications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
