AB  - Destructive  interventions  on  the  nervous  system  are  a  valuable  method  to  obtain  control  of  otherwise  intractable  pain.  Before  the  relatively  recent  development  of  augmentative  techniques,  such  as  intrathecal  drug  delivery  and  electrical  neurostimulation  (both  peripheral  and  central),  these  were  the  mainstay  of  neurosurgical  pain  treatment.  Options  exist  for  lesioning  the  nervous  system  at  multiple  levels,  including  the  brain  and  brainstem,  cranial  nerves,  spinal  cord,  and  peripheral  nerves.  Although  the  rise  of  these  newer  therapies  has  pushed  aside  many  ablative  procedures,  these  are  still  valuable  components  of  the  neurosurgical  armamentarium.
