Article Synopsis
- There is increasing interest in neuromodulation techniques, like spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation, as alternatives for managing chronic pain, focusing on their effects on the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
- A systematic review analyzed 43 studies from various databases, assessing how neuromodulation impacts the ANS in chronic pain patients, with cardiovascular parameters being the most common outcome measured.
- Results showed a variety of ANS function indicators, emphasizing the need for better understanding of neuromodulation's role in chronic pain treatment and its interaction with the ANS.
Wireless high-frequency dorsal root ganglion stimulation for chronic low back pain: A pilot study.
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
September 2018
Objective: Evaluation of the efficacy of a wireless high-frequency stimulator placed over selected DRG of exiting nerve roots for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
Design: Feasibility.
Subjects: Six subjects with chronic, intractable back pain refractory to standard medical treatment.
Automatic detection of health changes using statistical process control techniques on measured transfer times of elderly.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
August 2016
It has been shown that gait speed and transfer times are good measures of functional ability in elderly. However, data currently acquired by systems that measure either gait speed or transfer times in the homes of elderly people require manual reviewing by healthcare workers. This reviewing process is time-consuming.

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth
December 2014
Objective: This systematic review assesses the effectiveness and side effects of celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) in the treatment of upper abdominal cancer pain, and evaluates whether there are any differences between the percutaneous and endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS) denervation techniques.
Methods: Five databases were searched, expanded by assessing the reference lists of all retrieved papers. Sixty-six publications fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review.
