Stage 1a: Pain Physician visit (evaluate your pain condition to determine whether your pain syndrome is helped by spinal cord stimulation). Overview of the Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial and Permanent Implant Process: Most patients with these conditions experience 50-100% relief. Spinal cord stimulation is commonly used to treat the following conditions: failed back surgery syndrome, post-laminectomy syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathy, refractory lumbar radiculopathy, chronic abdominal pain, and refractory angina pectoris. There are many neuropathic pain or nerve pain conditions treated with spinal cord stimulation. What conditions are treated with spinal cord stimulation? Stimulation does not work for everyone, and if so, the implant can be removed and does not damage the spinal cord or nerves. We then discuss with our patients if it is something, they want implanted long-term. At the end of the trial the stimulator is removed. The goal for spinal cord stimulation is a 50-100% reduction in pain. Stimulation does not eliminate the source of pain it simply interferes with the signal to the brain. When turned on, the stimulation can feel like a mild tingling in the area where pain is felt or it can be set not produce any tingling sensation at all. There are many ways the stimulator can be programmed. The trial period is a patient’s “test drive” to determine if it is something that will help them long-term. The goal of the stimulator is to help you to better manage your pain and potentially decrease the amount of pain medication you needed.
#PAIN STIMULATOR SKIN#
A spinal cord stimulator trial (SCS trial) is a temporary medical device placed under your skin that sends a mild electric current to your spinal cord to block the feeling of pain.
