Personalized brain stimulation can ease chronic pain
A week-long brain mapping session helped three patients with chronic pain find lasting relief. By targeting specific areas with electrical stimulation, scientists were able to interrupt stubborn pain signals. The approach could offer new hope for people struggling with complex pain.
By mapping a woman’s pain in her brain, scientists could dial it down. A small series of case studies, published July 30 in Brain Stimulation, suggests that even tenacious, complex pain signals can be interrupted by hitting the right spot with electricity.
