Targeted Drug Delivery (Intrathecal Drug Therapy)

01

Neurostimulation

Neurostimulation uses electricity to stimulate nerves or the spinal cord to block pain signals. It includes spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion and peripheral nerve field stimulation. Electric wires (leads) are surgically placed near painful nerves or next to the spinal cord. An implanted battery (pulse generator) is connect to these leads to stimulate the nerve or spinal cord, in turn blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain.


  • Types of Neurostimulation:
  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Dorsal root ganglion stimulation
  • Peripheral nerve stimulation
  • Peripheral nerve field stimulation
  • Sacral nerve stimulation

  • Suitable for:
  • Intractable neck pain or low back pain
  • Radicular pain or sciatica (shooting pain in the arms or legs)
  • Chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain after surgery
  • Occipital neuralgia
  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Phantom limb pain
  • Angina (heart-related chest pain)
  • Persistent spinal pain syndrome
  • Chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Learn more about how neurostimulation can help manage chronic pain conditions through targeted electrical stimulation of the nerves or spinal cord. This innovative therapy offers relief for patients suffering from conditions such as sciatica, complex regional pain syndrome, and persistent spinal pain.

Targeted Drug Delivery
(Intrathecal Drug Therapy)

A small, motorised pump is implanted under the skin to deliver medications via a small tube (catheter) directly into the spine to treat severe, intractable back pain, pelvic pain as well as cancer pain. Medications used include morphine, fentanyl, and local anaesthetic drugs.

  • Suitable for:
  • Chronic back pain
  • Spinal fractures
  • Advanced cancer pain
  • Persistent pain even after spinal surgery
  • Severe degenerative spondylosis or scoliosis causing neck or back pain
