The New Stimulator Procedure for Peripheral Neuropathy Leg Pain
It’s like a light switch that can turn off the pain
Diabetic neuropathy affects the nerves in the feet. With 34 million people in the U.S. living with diabetes, about 50% will develop painful peripheral neuropathy.
The FDA approval of spinal cord stimulation for peripheral neuropathy pain is a significant milestone in the management of longstanding neuropathic pain. Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) offers an effective alternative for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. and It may provide some permanent type of relief and improved quality of life style.

Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological disease caused by damage to tiny peripheral nerves in the feet, leading to numbness, burning pain, tingling, weakness, sensitivity, and loss of coordination. It affects sensory nerves, impacting mobility and daily activities, often resulting from diabetes, infections, autoimmune disorders, toxin exposure, or nutritional deficiencies.
Outcomes
Spinal cord stimulation works by masking the pain using a technology called neuromodulation. This involves the delivery of electrical impulses to the spinal cord to interrupt or mask the pain signals before they reach the brain, providing significant relief and improving mobility, function, sleep quality, mood, and overall well-being. It can also reduce dependence on medications, enhance daily activities, and offer long-term pain management for those with chronic neuropathic conditions.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Breakthrough in Peripheral Neuropathy Pain Relief
Spinal cord stimulation uses neuromodulation to block pain signals before they reach the brain, providing significant relief, improving mobility, sleep, mood, and daily function while reducing medication dependence and enhancing long-term neuropathic pain management and quality of life.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Game-Changer in Neuropathic Pain Management
Peripheral neuropathy can be a debilitating condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, leading to long standing pain that significantly impacts the quality of life. Traditional treatments such as medication and physical therapy usually only help control pain and provide adequate relief 50% of the time, and in only 50% of the people. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is now available as a new promising option for managing neuropathic pain effectively almost 100% of the time in almost 100% of the patients.
