Brain implants tested to ease unbearable pain

NCT ID NCT03399942

Summary

This study tested whether stimulating two different brain areas simultaneously could help people with severe, treatment-resistant chronic pain. Researchers implanted electrodes in eight patients to stimulate both the pain-sensing and emotional-processing parts of the brain. The goal was to see if this combined approach was safe and might work better than stimulating just one brain area.
