thank you so much....I will print this for my father in law to review. I will ask him about the motor cortex stimulation as i don't believe that i have heard him talk about this option.
Hi,
Thanalamic stroke pain can be managed by medications like antidepressants and anticonvulsants to some extent. Other options include Deep brain stimulation which has been known to provide pain relief in about 50% of patients. Motor cortex stimulation is the newest procedure to manage post stroke pain. Psychological support and counseling has also shown good results.
You can discuss these options with his treating doctor and let us know if you need more information.
Thanks
