Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Game-Changer for Dorsal Column Pain Relief

Chronic pain can be a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While traditional treatments such as medication and physical therapy may provide some relief, they often come with unwanted side effects or temporary results. This is where spinal cord stimulation (SCS) comes in – a revolutionary treatment option that targets the dorsal column to alleviate chronic pain.

The Proclaim™ SCS Family and Eterna™ SCS System are designed to deliver precise electrical impulses directly to the spinal cord, which helps to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This innovative technology has been shown to be highly effective in treating a range of conditions, including chronic pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy, non-surgical back pain, and even complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

One of the key benefits of SCS is its ability to mimic natural pain relief pathways. Unlike traditional tonic stimulation, which delivers constant electrical impulses, Abbott's proprietary BurstDR™ waveform more closely mimics how pain signals travel to the brain. This results in a superior therapy that not only reduces pain but also addresses the emotional suffering associated with chronic pain.

The Proclaim™ SCS Family and Eterna™ SCS System offer both recharge-free and rechargeable options, as well as an upgradeable software platform. This means that patients can receive the latest technology without having to replace their devices, providing ongoing support and relief throughout their treatment journey.

In addition to its pain-relieving benefits, SCS has also been shown to help reduce or stabilize long-term medication use, allowing individuals to live life to the fullest. By delivering stimulation directly to the spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), or brain, depending on individual needs, our comprehensive portfolio of therapies can help patients move and feel better.

If you're living with chronic pain and movement disorders, SCS may be a viable treatment option for you. With its innovative technology, superior therapy, and ongoing support, it's no wonder that SCS has become a game-changer for dorsal column pain relief.
