Stereotactic thalamotomies were carried out in 51 cases of malignant and 9 cases of other painful conditions. The patients were divided into two groups--those with a relatively small lesion created in the basal part of the CM nucleus and those with a larger lesion extending into the pulvinar. In total, 50% of the cases showed complete pain relief, 20% partial relief and 30% no effect. The group with pulvinar intervention showed better results, especially those with malignancies.
对51例恶性疼痛患者和9例其他疼痛患者实施了立体定向丘脑切开术。患者被分为两组，一组是在中央中核底部制造相对较小损伤的患者，另一组是损伤较大且延伸至丘脑枕的患者。总体而言，50%的病例疼痛完全缓解，20%部分缓解，30%无效。丘脑枕干预组效果更好，尤其是恶性肿瘤患者。
