Electric stimulation in the brain cavity wall to reduce its associated symptoms. A generic approach applied in central post-stroke pain. KU Leuven
Millions of people worldwide suffer from neurological symptoms that are associated with an abnormal brain cavity (aBC). This aBC is the anatomical result of neuronal loss, mostly after stroke, brain trauma, surgery or infection. The symptomatology is dependent on the location and extent of the aBC.
We hypothesised that electrical stimulation of the aBC wall can alleviate aBC-associated symptoms. This is reasonable, as there is ...
