| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have examined whether the pharmacological evaluation of central poststroke pain (CPSP) is useful to select the candidate of SCS therapy, and examined about the analgesic effects of dual-lead SCS in CPSP patients.
Changes in visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain following pharmacological evaluation using morphine, thiopental, and ketamine were compared with the long-term follow up results of dual-lead SCS. Effective pain reduction by dual-lead SCS in CPSP patients were obtained mainly in ketapine-sensitive cases. Among 27 ketamin-sensitive patients, chronic implantation was applied in 21 of 27 (77.7%) patients. The dual-lead SCS showed long-lasting pain reduction in 15 of 21 (71.4%) CPSP patients.
We conclude that pharmacological evaluation and dual-lead SCS are very important for the treatment of CPSP patients, and that ketamine-sensitive CPSP patients are good candidate for dual-lead SCS therapy.
