Could Personalized Brain Stimulation Help Relieve Chronic Pain?
Could brain stimulation help people with severe chronic pain? Researchers studied how stereo-EEG could be used to map brain activity and test different areas of the brain. Two out of the three patients experienced pain relief during stimulation, suggesting stereo-EEG could potentially help doctors find better treatment before deciding on permanent deep brain stimulation. This can also help with other brain illnesses.
