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.
