OBJECTIVES We investigated the relationship between injury of the spino-thalamo-cortical pathway (STP) and central post-stroke pain (CPSP) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). METHODS 30 consecutive chronic patients, in whom integrity of the STP and the medial lemnisco-thalamo-cortical pathway (MLP) were spared in both hemispheres, were recruited. We classified the patients into two groups according to the presence of the CPSP. DTTs were… CONTINUE READING
