  • Publication number: 20220193417
    Abstract: A system for stimulating a sympathetic chain includes an electrode assembly that is configured to attach to a bone in proximity to a targeted portion of the sympathetic chain. The electrode assembly includes a cathode and an anode. The system also includes a power supply connected to the electrode assembly and configured to deliver power to the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly generates an electrical field between the cathode and the anode when power is delivered to the electrode assembly. The electrical field reaches the targeted portion of the sympathetic chain to provide electrical stimulation to the targeted portion of the sympathetic chain.

  • Publication number: 20220183621
    Abstract: A multi-modal biomarker predictive of a pain level in a patient that includes at least one of a structural MRI-based parameter and a functional MRI-based parameter from the brain of the patient is described. Systems and computer-implemented methods of estimating a pain level in a patient based that transform the multimodal into the estimated pain level using a machine learning model are also disclosed.
