Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided paraspinal nerve block combined with transcranial direct current stimulation（tDCS）on pain and mood in patients with postherpetic neuralgia. Methods From March 2022 to August 2022, 72 patients with PHN were randomly divided into two groups: The control group （group A, n = 36）and the observation group（group B, n = 36）. Both groups were treated with neural nutrients, analgesics and ultrasound-guided paraspinal nerve block. The patients in group B received daily transcranial direct current stimulation, while the patients in group A was treated with sham stimulation. Numerical Rating Scale （NRS）and state-trait anxiety inventory（STAI-S）were assessed at the time of pre-treatment（T0）, 1 week（T1）, 1 month（T2）, 2 months（T3）and 3 months（T4）after treatment, self-rating scale of sleep（SRSS）was assessed at T0, T2, T3 and T4. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were evaluated 3 months after treatment. Results After treatment, the scores of NRS, STAI-S and SRSS in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment（P < 0.05）, the scores of NRS, STAI-S and SRSS in group B were significantly lower than those in group A（P < 0.05）. Three months after treatment, the curative effect of group B was better, the difference was statistically significant（P < 0.05）. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided paraspinal nerve block combined with transcranial direct current stimulation is more effective than paraspinal nerve block alone in relieving pain, improving mood and sleep quality in patients with postherpetic neuralgia.

Objective To analyze the surgical complications of deep brain stimulation ( DBS) for movement disorders ( MD) to explore its reason and prevention and treatment measures .Methods 615 patients with MD were received 1008 DBS electrodes.Of 615 patients, 222 received unilateral DBS surgery and 393 received bilateral DBS surgery .Of 615 patients, 566 were medically refractory Parkinson disease, 18 essential tremor, 11 dystonia, 7 cervical distonia, 9 tourette, 2 Meige syndrome and 2 other hyperkinetic movement disorders .The surgical procedure or hardware failure related complications were analyzed retrospectively .Results 615 patients were followed up for 1-3 years.Five severe intraoperative adverse events included intracerebral hemorrhage in 4 (0.7%) and acute edema in 1 ( 0.2%) .Hardware-related complications requiring surgical revision included wound infections in 10 patients (1.6%),Subcutaneous effusion around IPG in 10(1.6%),lead malposition and/or migration in 9(1.5%),component fracture in 10(1.6%), hardware discomfort in 1 patient ( 0 .2%) .Conclusions Many operative skills in DBS are associated with postoperative complications .Improving the experience of surgeon can significantly reduce the incidence of surgical complications.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of stereotactic selective thalamotomy for the treatment of writer's cramp( WC). Methods 47 patients(32 men,15 women,age 15-64 years, mean 28.9 years) with medically intractable task-specific focal dystonia of the hand underwent Vim thalamotomy.The stereotactic target was chosen at ventralis intermedius nucleus. The mean duration of the symptom ranged from 2 to 21 years ( mean 5 .5 years). Results All patients showed immediate postoperative disappearance of dystonic symptoms, and the effect was sustained during the follow-up period (6-36 months, mean 23 months), except in 3 cases. One patient showed partial recurrence of the symptom and underwent second thalamotomy 6 months after the initial surgery with satisfactory results. The score on WC rating scale decreased significantly (P<0.001) after Vim thalamotomy.There were no permanent operative complications.There was no mortality or permanent morbidity. Conclusion Although a longer follow-up is needed, stereotactic Vim thalamotomy is a useful and safe therapeutic option for writer's cramp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
