Electrical stimulation of the periventricular gray matter is an effective means of relieving several types of pain without destruction of neural tissue. The effects are long lasting, often bilateral, and with judicious use do not appear subject to adaptation. However, sustained uninterrupted stimulation for several hours does lead to a reversible decrease in effectiveness. Side effects from stimulation are minimal and cause little or no untoward emotional changes. The results are discussed in terms of activation of an endogenous pain inhibitory mechanism that involves naturally occurring opiate-like factors such as the enkephalins and endorphins.
