Abstract
In a personal series of 43 patients with chronic pain treated by thalamotomy, 23 patients had basal thalamotomy and 19 had center-median thalamotomy. Forty-nine procedures were performed. The best results occurred in patients with pain in the upper part of the body and in patients who had bilateral center-median thalamotomy. Bilateral center-median thalamotomy was superior to basal thalamotomy and had fewer side effects. Despite adverse reports, thalamotomy remains a useful analgesic procedure.Entities:
