.... One of the most commonly used neuromodulation therapies, spinal cord stimulation, has recently shown promise in treating facial pain. We reviewed the current literature to determine usefulness of spinal cord stimulation in management of refractory facial pain. Our review indicates that for some...

... Abstract During World War I, physical and occupational therapies became important adjuncts to surgical practice, particularly for orthopedic casualties, but there was little progress in the management of severe brain and spinal cord injuries (SCIs), largely because of the very high mortality...

... Abstract Spinal cord infarction is much rarer than cerebral stroke, but its early recognition is important as it may signify serious aortic conditions. The most frequent type is anterior spinal artery syndrome, presenting with bilateral weakness (usually paraparesis), impairment...

... Abstract Treatment of chronic back and leg pain in patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) remains problematic as none of the currently available approaches are universally successful in achieving lasting pain control. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is very effective for controlling...

... Abstract Spinal nerve root stimulation (SNRS) is a neuromodulation technique that is used to treat chronic pain. This modality places stimulator electrode array(s) along the spinal nerve roots, creating stimulation paresthesias within the distribution of the target nerve root(s), thereby...

... robotic radiosurgery to treat 295 spinal and paraspinal lesions including spinal metastases, benign intradural tumors, and arteriovenous malformations. Our analysis of clinical outcomes confirms the promise of this technology in terms of efficacy and safety. ...

... Abstract The role of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of intracranial lesions is well established.Its use for the treatment of spinal lesions has been limited by the availability of effectivetarget immobilization and localization technologies. Conventional external beam...

... Abstract Background/Aims: Large clinical experience with spinal radiosurgery to properlyassess clinical experience has previously been limited. This study evaluated the clinical outcomesof single fraction radiosurgery as part of the management of metastatic spine tumors.Methods: Five hundred...

... Abstract Dose-volume effects on radiation tolerance of the spinal cord require investigation to be revisited. The purpose of this study was to present the early clinical results of patients treatedby staged spinal radiosurgery who achieved at least 2 years of follow-up. Our results show...
