Active Recharge Burst and Tonic Spinal Cord Stimulation Engage Different Supraspinal Mechanisms: a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study in Peripherally Injured Chronic Neuropathic Rats.
Abstract
To assess the supraspinal working mechanisms of the Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS)-mode we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in chronic neuropathic rats. We hypothesized that active recharge Burst SCS would induce a more profound BOLD signal increase in areas associated with cognitive-emotional aspects of pain, as compared to Tonic SCS.
