SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk – Can electrodes in the brain treat chronic pain?
DESCRIPTION:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a recognised way of tackling tremors in people with Parkinson’s disease. Now this technique – delivering an electrical pulse into the brain – is being explored as a potential treatment for other neurological conditions.A new study is looking at whether DBS can help to treat chronic pain in people who have suffered a stroke. Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a disabling – and currently untreatable – condition which affects areas of the brain and central nervous system that process pain signals.In this public talk\, Alex Green\, Professor of Neurosurgery\, and Ben Seymour\, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience\, will discuss the EPIONE study\, which is investigating whether DBS could be used to treat CPSP\, and if this technique might be a way of tackling other brain-related conditions.The EPIONE study (Effective Pain Interventions with Neural Engineering) is supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centres (BRC)\, who are jointly organising this talk. \n\n\n\nFREE entry\, no booking required. \n\n\n\nRefreshments from 5.40pm\, for a 6pm start.
