A Double‐Blind Comparative Study of <scp>burstDR</scp> Versus Tonic Epidural Motor Cortex Stimulation for the Treatment of Intractable Neuropathic Pain
In the present paper, we provide for the first time a double-blinded study comparing burstDR versus tonic eMCS for the treatment of intractable, drug-resistant neuropathic pain. Our results show that burstDR eMCS is a promising option in a population of patients especially difficult to treat, and support the ongoing move toward new stimulation waveforms able to more efficiently activate the brain networks involved in pain modulation.
