Neuromodulation for Central Post-stroke Pain: Mechanism, Safety and Outcome

The investigational devices that will be used for the MCS surgeries are the following: the Vanta with AdaptiveStim Technology Primary cell neurostimulator or the Intellis Implantable Neurostimulator with AdaptiveStim Technology from Medtronic, Inc. (MN, USA). These implantable neurostimulators are intended to generate electrical pulses and to deliver stimulation trough one or more leads as part of a neurostimulation system for pain therapy in adults.

For the deep brain stimulation procedure, we will use Vercise stimulators from Boston Scientific together with the Cartesia Directional Leads or the Percept PC stimulator from Medtronic.
