Radical surgery of pain is destined for chronic and intolerable pain, resistant to causal treatment, and rebellious to the various medicinal therapeutics. Conventional neuro surgery by selective section of nociceptive fibers is very valuable for cancerous subjects with a limited life span. On the other hand, there has been skepticism concerning the real efficiency of neuro stimulation. The advance made in the knowledge of neurophysiologic and neurochemical mechanism of pain will allow a radical transformation as substitute for this invasive type surgery.
疼痛根治性手术适用于慢性且难以忍受的疼痛，这类疼痛对病因治疗具有抗性，并且对各种药物治疗均无反应。对于预期寿命有限的癌症患者，通过选择性切断伤害性纤维进行的传统神经外科手术具有很高的价值。另一方面，人们对神经刺激的实际效果一直持怀疑态度。疼痛的神经生理和神经化学机制方面知识的进步将带来彻底变革，从而替代这种侵入性手术。
