Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a pain management procedure where a small device is implanted to send mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain—often used when other treatments have failed.
May include chronic nerve pain such as burning, shooting, or throbbing sensations, especially from conditions like failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), diabetic neuropathy, or post-surgical pain.
Involves a trial phase with temporary electrodes to test effectiveness, followed by permanent implantation of a pulse generator and electrodes if successful. Patients can adjust stimulation levels using a remote control, and recovery typically allows return to normal activities within a few weeks.
