University Hospital offers dedicated Spinal Cord Stimulation supported by experienced pain specialists, neurosurgeons, advanced imaging, and modern neuromodulation systems. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is situated in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds supporting specialized chronic pain management.

Spinal Cord Stimulation is a minimally invasive neuromodulation technique designed to alter pain signaling within the nervous system. The treatment involves placing one or more leads near the spinal cord and connecting them to a small pulse generator. Depending on the device and stimulation method, electrical impulses can modify how pain signals are processed. A trial period allows the medical team and patient to determine whether sufficient symptom improvement is achieved before considering permanent implantation.
