Abstract:Rehabilitation technologies based on brain-computer interface (BCI) have become a promising approach for patients with dyskinesia to regain movement. In BCI experiment, there is often a necessary stage of calibration measurement before the feedback applications. To reduce the time required for initial training, it is of great importance to have a method which can learn to classify electroencephalogram (EEG) signals with a little amount of training data. In this paper, the novel combination of feature extractio… Show more
A middle‐aged man experienced intermittent acupuncture‐like pain in the skin of the right scrotum and medial thigh 1 month after undergoing laparoscopic high ligation of the right hernial sac for a right indirect inguinal hernia in November 2020, and the pain persisted for 6 months. Under ultrasound guidance, ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerve block and local adhesion water separation were performed with a mixture of 0.25% lidocaine (6 mL) plus prednisolone acetate (10 mg), and the same drugs and methods were repeated five times once a week. After five treatments, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was reduced from 7 before treatment to 1. During the follow‐up period, at 3 months after the end of treatment, the VAS score remained at 0, and this score was sustained at 0 even at the 6‐month follow‐up. These outcomes indicate that ultrasound‐guided nerve block combined with water separation technology can effectively alleviate neuralgia caused by surgical adhesion, which holds important clinical significance in managing such conditions.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
