Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) in Neuromodulation Healthcare
About the clinic
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at Neuromodulation Healthcare in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a solution for patients with chronic pain who have not found relief through standard treatments. The clinic works with JCI-accredited hospitals such as Medicana Ataşehir and Memorial Health Group to perform these procedures. This therapy uses electrical pulses to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
How Spinal Cord Stimulation Works
SCS involves placing small electrodes near the spine to deliver low-intensity electrical pulses. This method helps manage conditions like diabetic neuropathy, Buerger's disease, and phantom limb pain. It is also a choice for patients with post-surgical back pain or complex regional pain syndrome. The system is adjustable, allowing patients to change stimulation levels with a remote control.
Two-Stage Procedure and Trial Period
The treatment begins with a trial phase to see if the device works for the patient. A temporary system with an external battery is used for up to 15 days. A permanent implant is only placed if the patient feels at least a 50% reduction in pain. This approach lets people test the therapy before making a long-term commitment. The system is fully reversible and can be removed at any time without permanent changes to the spine.
Electrode Placement Methods
Doctors use two different ways to place the electrodes based on the patient's needs:
- Percutaneous method — A needle guides the electrodes under X-ray imaging while the patient is awake to provide feedback.
- Surgical method — A small incision is made in the spine under general anesthesia for more complex cases.
