| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Not only dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency but also intravenous magnesium and lidocaine have been used for the management of intractable pain individually or in combination and a study reported the sound effect of the intravenous combination on neuralgia when antiepileptic drugs failed. One of the aims is to see how a combination of intravenous magnesium and lidocaine influenced electrically-evoked responses of peripheral A-δ and A-β nerve fibers at non-affected and affected areas. Although three patients with neuralgia experienced sound pain relief, the combination had a different effect on peripheral A-δ and A-β nerve fibers at non-affected and affected areas in each patient. The second aim is to see how dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency influenced peripheral A-δ and A-β nerve fibers at non-affected and affected areas in patients with vertebral metastatic pain. Now, the number of the study sample has been increasing.
