Study Summary

This study is an open-label study to determine the feasibility of Motor Cortex Stimulation (MCS) in the treatment of patients with chronic pain of the face or upper extremity. MCS will be delivered by use of an electrode and pulse generator, which are FDA approved for spinal cord stimulation but are not approved for MCS. The study has as a single-arm design with the subject at baseline serving as a control for the response to MCS.

Primary Outcome

As measured by the VAS scale of Pain Intensity and Unpleasantness, the McGill Pain questionnaire, and the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Signs and Symptoms
