Our investigation confirms the reliability of optic nerve ultrasound as a non-invasive method to detect elevated ICP in intracranial hemorrhage patients. ONSD measurements proved to have a good reproducibility. ONSD changes almost concurrently with CSF pressure variations.
Preoperative brain mapping is useful when planning awake surgery to estimate the relationship between the tumor and functional brain regions. However, these techniques cannot directly lead the surgeon during resection. Intraoperative brain mapping is necessary for safe and maximal resection and to guarantee a satisfying neurological outcome. This multimodal approach is more aggressive, leads to better outcomes, and should be used routinely for resection of lesions in eloquent brain regions.
date, a total of 10-patients (5 Female, mean age 61 ± 9.5 years) who received both SCS and PNFS for the treatment of their pain were analyzed. At baseline, a mean score of 7.6 ± 1.4 (NRS) was reported which reduced to 2.7 ±1.3 (n = 4.9) at last follow-up (median = 516 days). Data collection and analysis is still ongoing, and updated, new results will be presented. Conclusions Results of this observational case-series so far demonstrate that patients who use PNFS along-with SCS for treatment of chronic pain can achieve significant and clinical meaningful pain relief.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
