Neurostimulation Devices for the Treatment of Neurologic Disorders.

Neurostimulation is an advanced treatment for reducing chronic pain and improve the quality of life of people who are paralyzed or suffer from severe losses to sense organs. Neurostimulation devices are often surgically implanted in the patient and function with the help of thin wires or leads. These devices function by initiating stimulation of nerve impulses or by inhibiting pain signals produced at target sites that include autonomic nervous system, deep nuclei of the brain, peripheral nervous system, and central nervous system.

HOW IT WORKS

Neurostimulation provides pain relief by disrupting the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain. In other words, it outsmarts your pain.

Pain can move and intensify as you change positions. You can adjust the strength and location of stimulation to address these changes in pain with a handheld programmer. For example, if your pain moves or intensifies at different times of the day or during various activities - such as walking, sleeping, or sitting - you can accommodate these changes with different stimulation settings.

ABOUT THE NEUROSTIMULATION SYSTEM

A complete implantable neurostimulation system includes several components:

Neurostimulator – The device that generates the electrical impulses (placed under the skin in your abdomen or upper buttock)
Leads – Thin, insulated medical wires that deliver electrical pulses to the epidural space near the spine
Patient’s programmer – A handheld device you can use after you leave the doctor's office to customise the stimulation (within the settings your doctor has selected)

The neurostimulation system does not make any noise. It may be felt as a small bump under your skin, but does not normally show through your clothes.

ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER THERAPIES

Spinal cord stimulation provides advantages over other therapies for chronic pain:

Unlike other chronic pain treatments or surgeries, you can experience spinal cord stimulation and see if it relieves your pain before committing to the long-term therapy
A trial serves as a temporary evaluation period. The trial is much like an injection, but instead of medication being placed into the epidural space, leads are positioned and connected to an external neurostimulator
It does not have to be a permanent procedure. The implanted neurostimulator can be surgically removed if you do not like it or if you decide to pursue a different treatment
Unlike oral medications that circulate throughout your entire body, spinal cord stimulation targets the precise area where you are feeling pain
Spinal cord stimulation can be adjusted to address changes in pain as you switch positions throughout the day
A neurostimulator may provide relief when other treatments – like medications or injections – have not
