[Methods of pain modulation by electrical stimulation (author's transl)].
Different methods of modulating pain by electrical stimulation are described: (1) Nondestructive transcutaneous nerve stimulation is recommended for neurogenic pain syndromes prior to other procedures (success rate about 30%); (2) The implantation of electrodes on the dorsal columns yields good effects in 65% after careful selection; (3) First results with implantations in deep brain structures are discussed.
