Motor cortex stimulation is one of the neuromodulation methods of treating refractory central neurogenic pain. ⋯ MCS significantly reduces the intensity of neurogenic pain. The best long-term results in the present study were achieved in patients with thalamic syndrome. No significant predictors were found for a successful final outcome. The authors consider appropriate selection of patients, accurate placement of the electrodes and frequent adjusting of the stimulation parameters to be important factors increasing the efficacy of MCS.
