Common questions about spinal cord stimulation
What is spinal cord stimulation?
Spinal Cord Stimulation is a surgical procedure that surgically implants a spinal cord stimulator device. This device uses mild electrical currents to mask or interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. We might recommend this procedure if you have pain that hasn’t responded to other forms of treatment.
Spinal Cord Stimulation is broken up into two phases; one for a trial and a second for the actual placement of the device.
What conditions can spinal cord stimulation treat?
Spinal Cord Stimulation uses an implanted device to deliver electrical signals that modify how pain signals are processed. It may help manage selected cases of Chronic Pain, Neuropathy, Complex Regional Syndrome, Sciatica, and persistent Back Pain, particularly when other treatments have not provided adequate relief.
How long does pain relief from spinal cord stimulation last?
Relief will be ongoing, for as long as the treatment remains effective; effectiveness can change over time. The implanted device may need eventual battery replacement.
Is spinal cord stimulation painful?
Patients are typically lightly sedated and experience slight pressure or pushing during the procedure. Post-operation soreness at the incision sites gradually fade over 2-4 weeks.
How long does the spinal cord stimulation procedure last?
30–90 minutes for a trial. 1–3 hours or more for permanent implantation
