What is a spinal cord stimulator?

A spinal cord stimulator is an implantable medical device used to send low levels of pain inhibitory, electric signals to the spinal cord to alleviate pain in the lower legs or back. It has a two-step procedure. The first step at Mainland Pain Treatment Clinic is a diagnosis of chronic pain in New Jersey. Then a trial is done where the system is tested while the second step is the actual implantation of the spinal cord stimulator- the generator and its leads. Sometimes, the patient may need additional therapies after having a spinal cord stimulator.

How do spinal cord stimulators work in pain management?

A spinal cord stimulator is indicated for pain relief in case of post-laminectomy syndrome, post-surgical pain, peripheral vascular disease, spinal cord injuries, complex regional pain syndrome, pain following amputation, and arachnoiditis (inflammation of the lining of the spinal cord). It’s beneficial in improving the working of the spine and allowing the patient to have better sleep.

1. This device consists of thin wires having active electrodes at the tip and a generator that is connected to the wires to send electrical signals. 

2. The electrodes are placed carefully in the space between the spinal cord and the spinal column (called epidural space). 

3. In the first step of the procedure where the system is tested, the generator is tapped around the lower abdomen or buttocks. 

4. After trial, the generator is implanted under the skin. To control the entire system, there is a remote. 

5. The remote is used to turn on the stimulator device when there is pain and even adjust its settings as per the experienced level of pain, thereby helping in pain management.

Spinal cord stimulator is an advanced and best nonsurgical treatment for pain management.
