Spinal Cord Stimulator

  • The Revolutionary treatment works by blocking pain perception from traveling up through the spinal cord to Brain.
  • It involves smaller electrodes that are placed near spinal cord in Epidural space.
  • Spinal cord stimulator delivers low level impulses that interfere with the perception of pain especially chronic nerve pains.
  • Indications: Complex regional pain syndromes, Failed Back Surgery syndrome, Degenerative disc disease, Peripheral neuropathies etc.

An implantable pulse generator (IPG) is a small, battery-powered medical device placed under the skin through a minor surgical incision. It is designed to deliver electrical pulses to specific nerves or muscles, helping to manage chronic pain or treat conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. The procedure is minimally invasive, ensuring faster recovery and reduced discomfort for the patient.

 

The lead, which is a thin insulated wire, is carefully connected to the implantable pulse generator (battery). This system delivers precise electrical impulses, which are programmed and customized using an external control unit. The external unit allows healthcare professionals to tailor the stimulation settings to the patient’s needs. Patients can use this device to turn the system ON or OFF as required, offering convenience and control. They can also adjust the stimulation power within safe limits to achieve optimal symptom relief. This flexibility empowers patients to manage their treatment effectively, improving their quality of life.
