Spinal cord stimulation to abort painful spasms of atypical stiff limb syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Stereotactic procedures are image guided, often using magnetic resonance (MR) images limited by image distortion, which may influence targets for stereotactic procedures. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this work was to assess methods of identifying target coordinates for stereotactic procedures with MR in multiple p...
