About Laneshia Thomas

I have been working with students since I was a freshman in high school. I worked as an afterschool tutor as part of a scholarship program during high school and tutored elementary school children in math, reading, writing, and science. Throughout college, I worked for test preparation companies including Kaplan and StudyPoint. I taught high school and college students in ACT, SAT, PSAT, SAT II, and MCAT preparation as well as subject preparation in math subjects through calculus and science subjects through college based physics, chemistry and biology, writing, and reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. I also worked with the Northwestern University Searle Center for Teaching Excellence for two years in the Gateway Science Workshop program holding workshops for calculus and calculus-based physics. In addition to my tutoring and teaching experience, I have also authored two ACT test preparation booklets for Kaplan Publishing: Spotlight ACT and ACT Math and Science Workbook. I have an approach tailored to the individual student and adjust my teaching style based on the student's learning style and needs. I am currently in medical school with an expected 2011 graduation. I intend to make teaching a part of my professional career in an academic medical setting because I enjoy working with students and helping them to understand difficult concepts and expand their knowledge.

Motor Cortex and Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Intractable Neuropathic Face Pain
Thomas L, Bledsoe JM, Stead M, Sandroni P, Gorman D, Lee KH.

Intractable neuropathic face pain is a syndrome of unremitting severe pain that stems from abnormal nociceptive processing at various levels of the trigeminal system. Treatment of this debilitating condition has long presented a challenge for physicians due to its refractoriness to standard pharmacologic therapies. With few viable treatments, surgical procedures such as motor cortex stimulation (MCS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) provide additional options. This article reviews the current literature and practices regarding patient selection criteria, potential mechanisms of action, surgical technique, and outcome of patients with neuropathic face pain treated with MCS and DBS.
