Abstract
A variety of brain sites have been targeted for surgical treatment of intractable pain. Both ablative and chronic stimulation procedures have been reported to attenuate such pain. These targets include the thalamus and its projections, the periventricular gray, the cingulate cortex and the motor cortex. An overview of these procedures and their efficacy is provided.Entities:
