Université de Californie à San FranciscoClosed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Chronic Pain
Beginning with an inpatient trial period, subjects with various refractory chronic pain syndromes will undergo bilateral surgical implant of temporary electrodes in the thalamus, anterior cingulate, prefrontal cortex, insula and amygdala. These regions have been implicated in the multiple dimensions of pain. The goal of the trial period is to identify candidate biomarkers of pain and optimal stimulation parameters for each individual, and to select subjects who show likelihood to benefit from the trial. A subgroup of 6 such patients will then proceed to chronic implantation of up to 3 "optimal" brain regions for long-term recording and stimulation. The invstigators will first validate biomarkers of low- and high-pain states to define neural signals for pain prediction in individuals (Aim 1). The investigators will then use these pain biomarkers to develop personalized closed-loop algorithms for DBS and test the feasibility of performing closed-loop DBS for chronic pain in weekly blocks (Aim 2). Finally, the investigators will assess efficacy of closed-loop DBS algorithms against traditional open-loop DBS or sham in a double-blinded crossover trial (Aim 3) and measure mechanisms of DBS tolerance. Our main outcome measures will be a combination of pain, mood and functional scores together with quantitative sensory testing. Successful completion of this study would result in the first algorithms to predict real-time fluctuations in chronic pain states and development of a new therapy for currently untreatable diseases.
Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Chronic Pain Using Summit RC+S
| Groupe de participants/Bras | Intervention/Traitement |
|---|---|
Comparateur actifActive DBS Chronic brain recordings and stimulation with bilateral implantations in pain-related brain regions. All participants will participate in active DBS, blinded to the participant. | Medtronic Summit RC+S or Percept RC The investigators will perform DBS versus sham (randomized) to evaluate efficacy of stimulation for analgesia. Closed-loop DBS will be compared to open-loop DBS in a patient blinded, randomized fashion after initial, efficacy evaluation. |

| Critères d'évaluation | Description de critères | Période |
|---|---|---|
Visual Analog Score | Visual Analog Score is indicated by the patient by marking a 10 cm line as they rate their pain intensity from 0 to 100 in mm. | 2 years |
| Critères d'évaluation | Description de critères | Période |
|---|---|---|
Short Form 36 Health Survey | The Short Form 36 Health Survey is a measure of health and functional status, and consists of a 36 question survey with eight scaled scores commonly used in Pain research. Each scaled score is scaled from 0-100 with 0 being the lowest/worst outcome and 100 being the highest/best outcome. | 2 years |
Quantitative Sensory Testing Pain Threshold | The Quantative Sensory Testing machine is described in the research protocol, and uses thermal stimuli to measure pain sensitivity and thresholds which may change with time or therapy. Thermal stimuli down to 0 degrees F. and up to 55 degrees F are given and patients are asked to report their pain either qualitatively or quantitatively using numerical rating scale from 0 to 10, with 0 being the lowest/no pain, and 10 being the worst. | 2 years |
Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire | The Neuropathic pain Questionnaire (NPQ) is an assessment instrument for neuropathic pain intensity and quality. It contains 12 items: 10 related to sensations or sensory responses and two related to affect. The items are totaled and rated out of 12, with 12 being in the most neuropathic pain. | 2 years |
Age 22-80 years old
Clinical diagnosis of a refractory chronic pain syndrome including
- post-traumatic pain syndromes (e.g. root avulsions, nerve crush injuries, spinal cord injury)
- postsurgical pain syndromes (e.g., postmastectomy syndrome, post-thoracotomy syndrome, phantom limb pain, post-surgical spinal pain)
- postherpetic neuralgia
- complex regional pain syndrome
- atypical facial pain
- central pain syndromes (e.g. post-stroke pain, multiple sclerosis pain, post-radiation pain)
- post-radiation plexopathy
Two or more years or more of medically refractory severe pain
Average daily pain for the past 30 days reported as >6 on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS)
Pain that fluctuates over a range of at least 3 points on the NRS
Patient has failed at least two pain medications from different classes as determined by a neurologist or pain management specialist with stable doses of medications for 30 days prior to baseline visit.
Lack of a surgically correctible etiology for the pain as determined by 2 independent surgeons
Ability to speak / read English
Capable of understanding and providing informed consent
Absence of significant cognitive impairment - score of 25 or greater on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Successful detection of pain biomarkers or positive symptomatic response to inpatient stimulation trial period if performed.
- Major medical co-morbidities increasing the risk of surgery including uncontrolled hypertension, coagulopathy, severe diabetes, major organ system failure, active infection or history of implant related infections, immunocompromised state or malignancy with < 5 years life expectancy
- Presence of cardiac pacemakers/defibrillators, implanted medication pumps, intra-cardiac lines, any intracranial implants (e.g., aneurysm clip, shunt, cochlear implant, electrodes) or other implanted stimulators not compatible with RC+S system
- Pregnancy or breast feeding: all women of child bearing potential will have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to undergoing their surgical procedure.
- Active depression (BDI > 20), Suicide attempt </= 12 months or imminent suicide risk, or other untreated or uncontrolled psychiatric illness that evaluating psychiatrist would recommend exclusion of patient after neuropsychiatric evaluation.
- History of substance abuse in past 3 years
- Inability to stop anticoagulation or platelet anti-aggregation therapy for surgery and recovery.
- Implantable hardware not compatible with MRI or with the study.
- MR abnormalities that suggest an alternative diagnosis or contraindicate surgery
- Previous cranial ablative surgery.
- Previous deep brain stimulation surgery using an RC+S incompatible system
- Major neurological disorder other than the one that led to the chronic pain including epilepsy or a neurodegenerative condition including inability to recharge the device.
- Requires diathermy, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
- Allergies or known hypersensitivity to materials in the Summit RC+S system
- Patients may be excluded from enrollment due to a condition that, in the judgment of the PI, significantly increases risk or reduces significantly the likelihood of benefit from DBS.
