Newer spinal cord stimulation technologies are expanding clinical indications such as visceral and ischemic pain, with potential for further improved efficacy. #SPINAL STIMULATOR TRIAL#
Spinal cord stimulation is safe, efficacious and cost-effective in chronic pain management of neuropathic pain conditions, including failed back surgery syndrome, chronic regional pain syndrome and chronic peripheral neuropathies. Spinal cord stimulators are surgically implanted with leads in the epidural space at the level of the spinal cord determined by a trial procedure to decrease. 
Spinal cord stimulation masks pain signals through a transcutaneous implantable electric pulse generator. The device consists of a stimulating wire or electrode or connected to control unit or generator. His latest article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ). Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a relatively new technology that can help manage chronic pain when the cause cannot be removed or the injury cannot be repaired. The spinal cord stimulator sends mild pulses through the leads to the nerves. 
Thin, flexible leads are connected to the spinal cord stimulator and placed near specific nerves in the back. Spinal cord stimulation can be used to treat patients with severe, chronic pain due to a variety of conditions, including: Failed back surgery/arachnoiditis. Dr. Aaron Hong discussed spinal cord stimulation and its evolving role as an effective treatment for refractory chronic neuropathic pain in " Spinal cord stimulation: a nonopioid alternative for chronic pain management," A small device called a spinal cord stimulator is implanted under the skin. Some of the reported complications from a spinal cord stimulator include: Device malfunctions Shocks or burns Infection Spinal cord nerve damage Muscle weakness and Paraplegia.
