Article Synopsis
- Thalamic pain syndrome is a form of central post-stroke pain that can affect up to 10% of stroke survivors, usually emerging with a delay and often leading to chronic, long-lasting discomfort.
- This condition is challenging to treat, with limited effectiveness from common therapies, and it significantly impacts daily life, potentially leading to issues like depression and suicidal thoughts.
- A case study of a 55-year-old man with thalamic pain syndrome showed marked improvement in his symptoms and quality of life after undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, suggesting it could be a viable treatment option for this syndrome.
