Anatomic examination of human dorsal root entry zone lesions

R P Iacono et al. Appl Neurophysiol. 1988.

Abstract

The anatomic delineation of radiofrequency dorsal root entry zone lesions using the Nashold thermocouple electrode is presented. The sharply delineated lesions involve a major portion of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord including Rexed's lamina V and part of VI. The extent of these lesions is appropriate, based on the currently understood mechanisms of spinal generators of chronic deafferentation pain.
