Spinal Cord Stimulation

Delivers therapeutic electrical impulses at the level of the spinal cord to modulate the pain signals sent to the brain. Many patients cannot perceive the impulses at all.Patients get to try the therapy before committing to anything long-term, which makes spinal cord stimulation unusual among interventional options.

The Trial Period

The trial lasts around 5-8 days. Temporary electrodes are inserted through the skin and guided near the appropriate level of the spinal cord, connected to a small external battery secured to the skin.During the trial you determine for yourself whether stimulation reduces your pain. Leads and battery are then removed painlessly, leaving a small pinhole that needs little more than a bandage.A trial is considered successful when it reduces pain by at least half, along with improved overall function. If it does, you may elect to have the system implanted.

After Your Procedure

Implantation is a minimally invasive day surgery leaving only a couple of small incisions. Brief activity restrictions apply for a few weeks while the sites heal.Most patients return to previous activity levels after that period. Follow-up appointments program your stimulator for optimal relief.

Is This Right for You

Spinal cord stimulation treats chronic low back pain with or without leg pain, neck pain with or without arm pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy.It is generally considered for chronic pain that has previously failed ample and proper conservative therapy. Your physician will evaluate whether a trial makes sense for you.Because the trial comes first, you learn whether the therapy helps before making any long-term decision. The next step is a conversation.
