Motor Cortex Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Facial, Upper Extremity, and Throat Pain.

Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Clinical Trial

Official title: Motor Cortex Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Facial, Upper Extremity, and Throat Pain.

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is an open-label study to determine the feasibility of Motor Cortex Stimulation (MCS) in the treatment of patients with chronic pain of the face or upper extremity. MCS will be delivered by use of an electrode and pulse generator, which are FDA approved for spinal cord stimulation but are not approved for MCS. The study has as a single-arm design with the subject at baseline serving as a control for the response to MCS.
