■腿部疼痛和脚趾移动(PLMT)是一种罕见的神经系统疾病,其特征是神经性疼痛和下肢不自主运动。病理生理机制尚不清楚,但是可能涉及中央机制,这表明非侵入性脑刺激可能会有所帮助。到目前为止,目前尚无关于非侵入性脑刺激治疗PLMT的报道.
■一名70岁的女性有1年的PLMT病史。经过几次失败的医疗尝试,患者接受重复经颅磁刺激和经颅直流电刺激以减轻疼痛和不自主运动,但无益处.
■这是关于PLMT患者的无创性脑刺激的第一份报告。虽然对我们的病人无效,在这种通常难以治疗和衰弱的综合征中,应进一步研究非侵入性脑刺激。
UNASSIGNED: Painful legs and moving toes (PLMT) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by neuropathic pain and involuntary movements in the lower limbs. The pathophysiological mechanisms are unclear, but central mechanisms might be involved, suggesting that noninvasive brain stimulation might be helpful. Thus far, no reports have been published on noninvasive brain stimulation to treat PLMT.
UNASSIGNED: A 70-year-old female had a 1-year history of PLMT. After several unsuccessful medical attempts, the patient received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation to alleviate the pain and involuntary movements with no benefit.
UNASSIGNED: This is the first report on noninvasive brain stimulation in a PLMT patient. Although ineffective in our patient, noninvasive brain stimulation should be further studied in this often difficult to treat and debilitating syndrome.
