Patients suffering from back pain may have the
choice of spinal cord stimulation, if some of the
other treatments dont work as intended. More
than 10,000 patients around the world have spinal
cord stimulator implants. Spinal Cord Stimulation
is a process that uses electric stimulation to
the nerves surrounding the spinal column, so as
to minimize pain.
3
The procedure dates back to 1960s and was been
approved by FDA in 1989. The main purpose of
spinal cord stimulation is to direct electrical
pulses, which interferes with the pain signals
from reaching the brain. In medical terms, it is
also known as neurostimulation.
4
Usually, neurostimulation involves the use of a
small device, which is implanted close to the
spine and is responsible for generating the
pulses. In many ways, it has some similarities
with the pacemaker thats used for the heart.
The treatment is also used for treating complex
regional pain syndrome too in some cases.
