A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions.
The theory behind the new spinal cord stimulator is that in certain cases of spinal cord injury the spinal nerves between the brain and the legs are still alive, but just dormant. [48] On 1 November 2018 a third distinct research team from the University of Lausanne published similar results with a similar stimulation technique in the journal ...
From 1969 onwards Brindley developed the sacral anterior root stimulator, with successful human trials from the early 1980s onwards. [23] This device is implanted over the sacral anterior root ganglia of the spinal cord; controlled by an external transmitter, it delivers intermittent stimulation which improves bladder emptying.
The stimulation, applied over the lumbar spinal cord, works by activating large diameter afferent fibers entering the spinal cord, [17] [18] which then transsynaptically activate and engage spinal neuronal networks. [19] The same target structures can also be activated by transcutaneous electrodes placed over the lower thoracic spine and ...
Neurostimulation for chronic pain is primarily through the use of spinal cord stimulators. [11] These devices deliver electrical stimulation to different areas of the spine based on where they are implanted. Since 2012, Medtronic has produced spinal cord stimulators with accelerometers that can predict the patient's position. The device can be ...
