Analgesic Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Different Stimulus Parameters for Neuropathic Pain: A Randomized Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the analgesic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex (M1‐rTMS) using different stimulation parameters to explore the optimal stimulus condition for treating neuropathic pain.

Lactation, Childrearing, and Gender Justice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss the significance of early infant feeding choices for the goal of gender justice. Focusing on human lactation practices, I identify Exclusive Gestational Nursing (EGN) as the norm in advanced industrial societies, which creates the expectation and permission for gestators, and only gestators, to nurse children, and ...

Safety and Efficacy of 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Treatment of Refractory Chronic Migraine: A Prospective Long‐Term Open‐Label Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Refractory chronic migraine (rCM) is a highly disabling condition for which novel safe and effective treatments are needed. Safety and long‐term efficacy of paresthesia‐free high cervical 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) were here prospectively evaluated for the treatment of rCM.

Periprosthetic joint infection risk is comparable between unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to total knee arthroplasty conversion and primary total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers benefits over total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but some studies indicated higher revision rates, often involving conversion to TKA. The infection risk associated with UKA to TKA conversion compared to primary TKA is not definitively established.

Comparison of Paresthesia Mapping With Anatomic Placement in Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation: Long‐Term Results of the Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Crossover CRISP Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for chronic intractable pain. Conventional SCS involves electrode placement based on intraoperative paresthesia mapping; however, newer paradigms like burst may allow for anatomic placement of leads.

The Anterior Belly of the Digastric Muscle as a Novel Target for Needle Electromyography in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Needle electromyography (EMG) in the bulbar region aids in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but remains technically challenging. The genioglossus muscle (GM) is commonly examined; however, pain and poor relaxation may limit its evaluation.

Systematic Literature Review of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Chronic Back Pain Without Prior Spine Surgery

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objective Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the most common reasons for seeking healthcare. Despite numerous care strategies, patients with low back pain continue to exhibit poor outcomes. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an evidence‐based therapeutic modality for patients with failed back surgery syndrome ...

Intracerebroventricular opioids for intractable pain [PDF]

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
When pain is refractory to systemic opioid and non‐opioid analgesic therapy and palliative chemoradiation or ablative or stimulant neurosurgical procedures are not possible, palliative treatment becomes limited, particularly if the patient wishes to be at home at the end of life.

Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.
