Abstract

In this chapter we shall focus on various stimulation procedures for treatment of chronic pain. We shall discuss three common Neurostimulation procedures, i.e. peripheral nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, and motor cortex stimulation. Though the indications may vary, the selection criteria for offering these treatments are common. With the development in imaging technology and combination of functional MRI guided neuronavigation and intraoperative mapping has improved the targeting of motor cortex. Now studies have shown that patient’s suffering with neuropathic facial pain of central and peripheral origins are greatly benefited. Emerging technology and innovation will bring better results in future.
