Spinal Cord Stimulator


Spinal cord stimulation for chronic back pain uses electrical pulses to stimulate nerves in the spinal cord, with the goal of interfering with the path of pain signals as they travel to the brain. The first step in the process is a trial period of spinal cord stimulation. The person is sedated, given a local anesthetic, or both. Next, thin wires with electrodes attached—called leads—are inserted into the space surrounding the spinal cord via a thin hollow tube.
