Infrared Images for Spinal Cord Stimulation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Patients

"Forward Looking InfraRed Camera:~1. We will use a FLIR T420 or T62101 camera with a resolution of 320\*240.~2. Each image will be captured perpendicularly with a 1-inch gap on all four sides.~3. A Myler blanket placed in the background will separate the feet from the background.~4. The camera will be normalized to a temperature range of 15°C to 40°C.~5. The images will be saved in radiometric JPEG format.~6. Once the images have been transferred to a computer, we will remove the background.~7. Next, we'll make a temperature histogram with 0.1°C temperature bin resolution.~8. The before and after histograms (IB, IA) will be compared to see which one indicates more extreme temperature distributions.~9. Those who improve by 30% or more are considered to have had a successful spinal cord stimulation."
