2. Mean visual analogue scale (VAS) value ≥4 cm and/or mean numerical rating scale (NRS) value ≥4 points within one week of baseline at enrolment
3. Subjects who have had a stable analgesic regimen for at least 30 days prior to the intensity of pain described in Inclusion Criterion 2 and agree not to arbitrarily change the type and dose of medication that they are currently taking until the end of the period of assessment of the effectiveness of this trial, as assessed by the investigator
4. Subjects volunteered to participate in the trial and gave fully informed consent to sign an informed consent form
5. Have stable neurological status as assessed by the researcher through motor, sensory and reflex functions
6. Subjects are considered reliable and able to comply with the trial protocol (e.g., able to understand and complete relevant scales), visit protocols, and medication administration, according to the investigator's judgement
7. Subjects of childbearing potential agree to sign an informed consent form and have no plans to have children during the study period and voluntarily use effective contraception (oral contraceptives are prohibited) and do not plan to donate sperm or eggs
Exclusion Criteria:
* 1.In patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy, amputation due to diabetes mellitus or large (≥3cm) and/or gangrenous ulcers on the lower limbs 2.Currently diagnosed with progressive neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, tumours of the brain or spinal cord, and neurodegenerative disorders, as determined by the investigators 3.Have a chronic systemic disease that, as assessed by the investigator, may affect the subject's participation in the study, including but not limited to:
1. suffering from severe cardiopulmonary disease such as unstable angina, myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, recurrent asthma attacks, etc;
2. Malignant tumours of the central nervous system or other systems. 4.Current status such as coagulation disorders, bleeding tendencies, platelet dysfunction, severely reduced function due to underlying cardiac/pulmonary disease, progressive peripheral vascular disease, or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, and subjects who may be suffering from a relevant disease state that affects surgery as assessed by the investigator 5.Currently on anticoagulants and unable to stop them 6.Localised infection or active systemic infection at the anticipated surgical access site 7.History of previous intracranial surgical treatment (except for minimally invasive paracentesis for diagnostic tests, etc.) 8.Patients with severe psychiatric symptoms (e.g., major depression, schizophrenia, etc.) or significant suicidal tendencies or assessed by the investigator to be unable to complete the clinical trial 9. Pre-existing or concomitant severe hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction (in which severe hepatic dysfunction is defined as ALT ≥ 2.0 times the upper limit of normal or AST ≥ 2.0 times the upper limit of normal; severe renal dysfunction refers to a CRE ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal or an eGFR \< 40mL/min/1.73m2; and severe cardiac dysfunction refers to an NYHA score of grade 3-4) ，delirium, hypotension, epilepsy, glaucoma, myelosuppression or leukopenia, severe central nervous system depression, or coma from any cause 10.
