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
