Abstract

The relationship between motor cortex stimulation and pain alleviation has been known for years. Although the underlying mechanism of action has not been clearly established, favorable results have been reported for various intractable pain syndromes. Better results have been achieved particularly for deafferentation pain radiating to the upper limb and the various facial pain syndromes. The surgical technique consists of electrode implantation to the somatotopic motor cortex consistent with the anatomic radiation of the pain either epidurally or subdurally, and connecting the electrode to an internal pulse generator. Although the surgery has a risk of epilepsy, bleeding, infection, and hardware problems, such complications rarely occur. We discuss the mechanism of action, implantation technique and clinical outcomes of motor cortex stimulation surgery for pain in this paper.

Özet

Motor korteks stimülasyonu ile ağrı kontrolü arasındaki ilişki uzun yıllardır bilinmektedir. Altta yatan mekanizma halen net anlaşılamamakla birlikte motor korteks stimülasyonu ile dirençli ağrı sendromlarında iyi sonuçlar elde edilmektedir. Özellikle üst ekstremite yayılımlı deafferentasyon ağrıları ve yüz bölgesini içeren ağrılı durumlarda yüksek etkinliği gösterilmiştir. Cerrahi teknik, epidural veya subdural olarak motor korteksin ağrı yayılımına uyan somatotopik bölgesine elektrot implantasyonunu ve bu sistemin internal bir pulse jeneratörüne bağlanmasını içermektedir. Cerrahi tekniğin epilepsi, kanama, enfeksiyon, cihaz ile ilişkili komplikasyonlar gibi riskleri bulunmakla birlikte bu komplikasyonlar nadir olarak görülmektedir. Makalede, ağrı sendromlarında motor korteks stimülasyonunun etki mekanizması, implantasyon tekniği ve klinik sonuçları tartışılmaktadır.
