Lu et al. (2021) recently reported that deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the zona incerta (ZI) selectively modulates thermal pain in humans. This important finding has implications for the mechanism and treatment of neuropathic pain and particularly, as I explore in this paper, central post-stroke pain (CPSP). The condition, now termed CPSP, was first described in 1906 by Dejerine and Roussy, who noted that “nothing offers solace to the patient whose feeling are sometimes intolerable”. Over a century later CPSP remains a difficult, often refractory, condition to treat. One that can even drive sufferers to suicide.
