One hundred cases of intractable pain treated with various neurosurgical procedures were reported. These 100 cases consisted of 30 cases of percutaneous cordotomy, 21 cases of posteromedial hypothalamotomy, 2 cases of rostral mesencephalic reticulotomy and 47 cases of centromedian-parafascicular (CM-Pt) thalamotomy. Clinical results of pain relief by these procedures were discussed with reference to present limits and clinical indications. Based on these clinical data, a proposal was made for new concept of pain perception.
