SCS for chronic pain
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a medical therapy commonly used for patients suffering from chronic pain that is not effectively managed by other treatments.
SCS works by sending electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These electrical impulses block or modify pain signals, thereby reducing the pain experienced by patients.

Stimulator (neurostimulator): a small device that generates electrical impulses. It is usually implanted under the skin, usually in the abdomen or buttocks.
Leads with electrodes : Thin wires that are connected to the stimulator and inserted into the epidural space of the spinal cord. They transmit electrical impulses directly to the spinal cord. Extension leads are also used in some cases for the connection between the stimulator and the leads with electrodes.
Programmer: An external device used to program the stimulator and adjust the parameters of the pulses according to the patient's individual needs. It is also a controller given to the patient that can be used by the patient himself to adjust the intensity of the stimulation.
