Procedure

Trial of Spinal Cord Stimulation

The electrodes are placed within the spine in the epidural space so that stimulation can be felt in the painful areas. The electrodes  exit the skin and an external generator is used for the trial period. The patient is able to use the Spinal Cord Stimulator for a short period of time without committing to full implantation.
