The neurobiology of chronic pain, including chronic daily headache (CDH) is not completely understood. "Pain memory" hypothesis is one of the mechanisms for phantom limb pain. We reviewed the literature to delineate a relation of "pain memory" for the development of CDH. There is a direct relation
BACKGROUND
Phantom pain is a well known and extensively documented complication after limb amputation. Nearly all surgical disciplines have to deal with phantom symptoms related to different anatomical regions and organs but limited data is available about phantom eye pain (PEP) after enucleation.
A 56-year-old woman developed episodes of throbbing pain in the right orbit accompanied by ipsilateral nasal stuffiness and the feeling of ear swelling six months after orbital exenteration and ethmoidectomy for invasive, sclerosing basal-cell carcinoma. Extensive evaluation and treatment of her
OBJECTIVE
To provide a better understanding of the prevalence, correlates and quality of phantom sensations and phantom pain in child and adolescent amputees.
METHODS
Retrospective survey study.
METHODS
Recruitment through the War Amputations of Canada.
METHODS
Sixty child and adolescent amputees
After thousands of painful long-lasting migraine or extremely violent cluster headache attacks no one has yet traced histological inflammatory or degenerative alterations of the interested tissues able to explain such dreadful pain. Therefore it has seemed logical to include these pains among the
We prospectively evaluated the frequency, time-course and predisposing factors of phantom eye syndrome in 53 patients who underwent surgical eye amputation to cure ocular cancer. Before surgery, patients were classified as Group I (n = 25) if they had no history of headache or Group II (n = 28) if
BACKGROUND
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is pain that arises in the missing limb after amputation and can be severe, intractable and disabling. Various medications have been studied in the treatment of phantom pain. Presently there is uncertainty in the optimal pharmacologic management of
This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 12, 2011. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is pain that arises in the missing limb after amputation and can be severe, intractable, and disabling. Various medications have been studied in the treatment of phantom pain. There is
BACKGROUND
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an important form of neuromodulation that is being applied to patients with motor, mood, or cognitive circuit disorders. Despite the efficacy and widespread use of DBS, the precise mechanisms by which it works remain unknown. Over the last decade,
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a commonly performed procedure and has been used for the treatment of chronic pain since the early 1970s. A review of the literature was performed utilizing the PubMed database evaluating the use of DBS in the treatment of various pain syndromes. Literature over the
A case is presented of a 54-year old patient who had been treated 10 months previously with enucleation for a painful blind eye. This led to severe and chronic pain in the orbital region that did not respond to conventional pain management. However, a single 1.5 ml injection of 96 % ethanol led to
OBJECTIVE
As a result of its accompanying co-morbidity, our lack of understanding regarding its mechanisms, and its resistance to conventional treatment, central pain is one of the most formidable challenges pain physicians are faced with. The objective of this review is to summarize recent advances
Invasive neurostimulation therapies may be proposed to patients with neuropathic pain refractory to conventional medical management, in order to improve pain relief, functional capacity, and quality of life. In this review, the respective mechanisms of action and efficacy of peripheral nerve
