PAIN MODULATION
 |
Pain Therapies comprise two key
neuromodulation technologies – neurostimulation and
intrathecal drug delivery – both of which are indicated
to reduce and control chronic, intractable pain. Which
type of therapy to use can generally be determined by
the indication, type of pain and the screening period.
As neuromodulation requires a multidisciplinary
approach. |
|
|
Anatomy and physiology of the spinal
cord, various types of pain, and an overview of
neurostimulation and intrathecal drug delivery including
indications, patient selection, implantation techniques,
post-operative management, and information on
programming and refilling are discussed. |
