The Metro Spinal Clinic (MSC) began using Peripheral Nerve Field Stimulation (PNFS) in 2006 for the treatment of chronic intractable pain. PNFS has been found to be a safe, reversible and cost-effective alternative to traditional analgesic and surgery options. Our initial data was encouraging,^28;29 and this data has since been verified by subsequent data.

Botox for treatment of migraine

Botox® is the registered trade name for botulinum toxin A, which is a toxin that is derived from bacteria and used in a purified form to cause local muscle paralysis and probable inhibition of local pain sensors (nociceptors). It has traditionally been used as a cosmetic agent to reduce facial wrinkles and as a treatment for abnormal muscle conditions such as dystonias and torticollis. It was noted that patients who had cosmetic treatment for frown lines and who had migraine not only improved cosmetically but also noted a trend for improvement of their migraines. After further studies, Botox now has an approved role in the management of migraine.
