Spinal Cord Stimulation is a minimally invasive procedure used to manage chronic nerve-related pain that does not respond to medications or conventional treatments. It involves implanting a small device under the skin that sends mild electrical signals to the spinal cord, blocking pain messages before they reach the brain. The procedure typically begins with a trial phase, during which temporary electrodes are placed to assess the patient’s response.
If pain relief is significant, a permanent spinal cord stimulator is implanted. This device features a pulse generator, leads, and a remote control, enabling patients to adjust stimulation settings as needed. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition.
Spinal Cord Stimulation is commonly used to treat conditions like failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and neuropathic leg or arm pain. While results vary, many patients experience long-term relief, reduced need for pain medications, and improved quality of life.
