Central Post Stroke Pain/Thalamic Pain

Posted by cpsp50 @cpsp50, Oct 1 8:23am

Ai round up of research.

If you feel there are no options left, this hopefully gives you ideas to investigate.

One not mentioned here is the use of high powered non invasive ultrasound. Very new and experimental.

Initially it was thought that the pain only arose as a result of strokes in the thalamus. However it has since been identified that strokes in other areas of the brain can cause the same pain.

So thalamic pain is central post stroke pain but not all types of central post stroke pain is thalamic.
