Abstract
A deep brain stimulator was implanted in the periventricular grey matter of the third ventricle for pain after stroke in a man aged 48 years. As well as a beneficial analgesic effect, the patient reported improved function in the contralateral paretic arm, which was confirmed on formal testing.
