Neurostimulation Electrodes

Neurostimulation Electrodes are widely used as an invasive Pain Management Technique as an alternative treatment to chronic Pain. They are also used to treat various Neurological and Spinal Disorders like Parkinson's Disease and Nerve Root Compression.

The entire apparatus can be embedded under the skin without much external visible change other than a slight bulge. The Neurostimulation Electrodes administer a short pulse of electricity to a related nerve that interferes with the regular functioning to provide beneficial effects like the relief from pain.
When the Neurostimulation Electrodes do their work, you will feel a slight tingling. This is also known as parathesia. The feeling is akin to pins and needles. This is vastly preferable to pain.

The implantation of Neurostimulation Electrodes entails a trial period for about a week before the procedure is carried out in full. The trial period consists of an epidural procedure where the the system is left outside the dural membrane of the spinal cord. If results are promising, then the permanent device is implanted.

Neurostimulation is a breakthrough in pain management techniques are people are highly dissatisfied with the efficacy of current techniques. As more and more people become aware of the full benefits of Neurostimulation, the procedure will become more and more common.
