Neuromodulation and Pain Unit
It is essential to establish specialized units for treating refractory neuropathic pain. Individuals suffering from this condition often feel misunderstood and encounter lengthy delays in the healthcare system before receiving therapies that can enhance their quality of life.

Patient space
I couldn't mitigate the pain. From 0 to 10, I felt a 9 at night, constant throughout the day. Months after the operation, I notice more spirits, I want to do more things, and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I even make jokes now!

Research
