Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a minimally invasive neuromodulation technique used to treat chronic pain. It involves the application of electrical impulses to peripheral nerves, which are nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, to modulate pain signals and provide pain relief.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a medical procedure used to manage chronic pain by sending electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses interfere with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, effectively reducing the perception of pain. SCS is typically considered for patients with chronic pain conditions that have not responded adequately to other treatments.
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation is a specialized form of neuromodulation used to treat chronic pain by targeting the dorsal root ganglion, a cluster of nerve cell bodies located in the spinal column. The DRG plays a key role in transmitting sensory information, including pain signals, from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD)
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) is a procedure used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition where the spinal canal narrows, causing compression of the spinal nerves. This compression can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, leg pain, and difficulty walking. The MILD procedure aims to relieve this pressure with minimal tissue disruption.
Intracept
Intracept is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic low back pain
(CLBP) caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD). Developed by Relievant Medsystems, Intracept targets a specific nerve pathway believed to be responsible for transmitting pain signals from the vertebral endplates, where degenerative changes occur, to the brain.
ReActiv8
ReActiv8 is a medical device and procedure developed by Mainstay Medical International plc. It is designed to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP) caused by multifidus muscle dysfunction, which is often associated with a condition known as “chronic mechanical low back pain.” ReActiv8 aims to restore stability to the lumbar spine by stimulating the multifidus muscles, which play a crucial role in providing
support and stability to the spine.
