Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy or DaRT is an alpha-particle-based radiation therapy for the treatment of solid tumors. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This therapy was developed at Tel Aviv University in Israel, by Professors Itzhak Kelson and Yona Keisari.
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
Pain and sensory abnormalities can persist for months or years after treatment completion. Some patients may experience “coasting,” where symptoms intensify after completion of treatment. [3] As such, patients can be cancer-free and still suffer from disabling neuropathy induced by cancer treatment. [3]
Neurostimulation technology can improve the life quality of those who are severely paralyzed or have profound losses to various sense organs, as well as for permanent reduction of severe, chronic pain which would otherwise require constant (around-the-clock), high-dose opioid therapy (such as neuropathic pain and spinal-cord injury).
Scrambler therapy involves the use of electronic stimulation on the skin with the goal of overwhelming pain information with non-pain information. [1] In a therapy session, "electrocardiographic-like pads are placed around the area of pain". [2] Limited research has been done on the effectiveness of scrambler theory. [3]
The use of gene therapy is a potential treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. [54] In animals a gene therapy for local transgenes encoding for GABA synthesizing-releasing inhibitory machinery has been demonstrated and was effective for months at a time. It increases synaptically GABA-mediated neuronal inhibition in the spinal cord (or in the ...

Its use can be diagnostic and/or therapeutic. Effects vary based on frequency and intensity of the magnetic pulses as well as the length of treatment, which dictates the total number of pulses given. [6] TMS treatments are approved by the FDA in the US and by NICE in the UK for the treatment of depression and are provided by private clinics and ...
