Spinal Cord Stimulator
Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulator
An implanted spinal cord stimulator is a device used to manage chronic pain by sending electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain, effectively reducing the sensation of pain. The stimulator consists of a small pulse generator implanted under the skin and electrodes placed near the spinal cord.
​
This outpatient procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours and offers benefits such as significant pain relief, improved mobility, and a reduction in the need for pain medications. It is ideal for patients with chronic pain who are unresponsive to conservative treatments. This enhances their quality of life by providing consistent and controllable pain management.

How Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulator Works
The implanted spinal cord stimulator works by sending mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, where they interfere with pain signals being sent to the brain. The procedure involves placing electrodes in the epidural space near the spinal cord and implanting a small pulse generator under the skin. Guided by live imaging, surgeons ensure the precise placement of the electrodes. The patient can adjust the level of stimulation using a remote control, providing personalized pain relief. The minimally invasive nature of this technique results in shorter recovery times, reduced discomfort, and improved pain management, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life.
