Advanced Stimulation Procedure to Alleviate Leg Pain from Peripheral Neuropathy
It’s like flipping a switch to make the pain disappear.
Affecting mainly the nerves associated with the feet, diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes. Approximately 34.2 million people, equating to 10.5% of the U.S. population, live with diabetes, and about half of them are likely to develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
The approval of spinal cord stimulation by the FDA for peripheral neuropathy pain is a crucial step forward in chronic neuropathic pain management. This therapy presents a promising solution for patients unresponsive to traditional treatments, with the potential to offer long-term relief and enhance their quality of life
Several clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of SCS in managing peripheral neuropathy pain
Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological disorder characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, leading to various sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunctions.
Spinal cord stimulation is a neuromodulation technique that involves the delivery of electrical impulses to the spinal cord to interrupt or mask pain signals before they reach the brain.

SCS, or spinal cord stimulation, is a technique that uses electrical impulses to the spinal cord to modify or prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. Its use for treating peripheral neuropathy pain has been increasingly recognized, with numerous studies highlighting its effectiveness in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing patient satisfaction.
Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to the peripheral nerves, leading to chronic pain that severely diminishes the quality of life for those affected. Traditional methods such as medication and physical therapy may not always offer adequate relief. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as a hopeful therapeutic option for addressing neuropathic pain.
