Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for treating chronic pain, focusing on clinical outcomes and effectiveness from 2004 to 2017.
- Among 72 patients analyzed, PNS significantly reduced pain scores and opioid use after 6 months, with the most common condition treated being occipital neuralgia.
- Although PNS showed promising results in improving pain and function, a small percentage experienced postoperative infections, highlighting the need for further research on longer-term outcomes.
neuECG, the simultaneous noninvasive recording of ECG and skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA), directly records sympathetic nerve activity over a long period of time. It can be used to measure sympathetic tone in healthy subjects and in subjects with non-cardiovascular diseases. The electrical activity that can be measured on the surface of the skin originates from the heart, the muscle or nerve structures.

Background: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) remains a clinical challenge because patients often are highly symptomatic and not responsive to medical therapy.
Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of stellate ganglion (SG) block and cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) in patients with IST.
Methods: Twelve consecutive patients who had drug-refractory IST (10 women) were studied.
Introduction: Autonomic modulation has been used as a therapy to control recurrent ventricular arrhythmia (VA). This study was to explore stellate ganglion block (SGB) effect on cardiac electrophysiologic properties and evaluate the long-term outcome of cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) for patients with recurrent VA and structural heart disease (SHD).
Materials And Methods: Patients who had recurrent VA due to SHD were enrolled prospectively.
