Spinal cord stimulation is a medical treatment used to manage chronic pain. It involves implanting a small device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses help to interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain, providing relief for patients suffering from conditions like neuropathic pain or failed back surgery syndrome. The procedure typically requires a minor surgical operation to place the device under the skin. Patients can adjust the intensity of the stimulation using a remote control, allowing them to find the most effective level of pain relief. This treatment can improve quality of life for many individuals.
