NeuroModulation

What is Neuromodulation?

 

Neuromodulation is a medical field that involves modulating the nerve activity through targeted delivery of electrical impulses or chemical agents to specific parts of the nervous system. It is often used as a therapeutic approach for managing chronic pain, neurological disorders, and other conditions that affect the nervous system.

The concept behind neuromodulation is that by manipulating nerve activity, either by stimulating or suppressing certain neural pathways, doctors can influence pain perception, motor function, and other bodily functions. Neuromodulation treatments can be minimally invasive, offering patients a non-surgical or less-invasive option to address chronic conditions.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for :

A: Low back pain 

Lower back pain (LBP) is a common condition that affects the area between the lower ribs and the buttocksIt can range from a mild ache to severe pain that interferes with daily activities. 
Causes:  LBP can be caused by a variety of factors, including:  Herniated discs, Spinal stenosis, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Infections, and Tumors (rare). 
Symptoms: Common symptoms of LBP include:
    • Pain that radiates from the lower back to the buttocks, legs, or feet
    • Numbness or tingling
    • Difficulty standing or sitting for long periods 

Diagnosis: To diagnose LBP, a healthcare professional will typically perform a physical exam, ask about medical history, and may order imaging tests such as X-rays or an MRI.

B: Neck and mid back pain

Mid Back Pain :Mid back pain refers to discomfort or pain located in the thoracic spine, the area between the bottom of the neck and the top of the lumbar spine. 

Causes: 

Herniated disc: A bulging or ruptured disc in the thoracic spine can press on nearby nerves, causing pain.  

Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the cartilage in the thoracic spine can lead to inflammation and pain.  

Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal in the thoracic region can compress the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain. 

Fracture: A fracture in the thoracic vertebrae can cause severe pain.

Symptoms: 

  • Pain that may be sharp, dull, aching, or burning
  • burning
  • Tenderness to the touch

Diagnosis: Your doctor will likely perform a physical exam, ask about your medical history, and may order imaging tests such as an X-ray or MRI to determine the underlying cause of your pain.

C: CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome)

(chronic regional pain syndrome

Chronic regional pain syndrome: is another term for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a condition characterized by severe, persistent pain in a limb that is often triggered by an injury, even if seemingly minor, and results in pain disproportionate to the initial trauma, accompanied by changes in skin temperature, color, and swelling in the affected areaessentially, the body has an extreme reaction to the injury, causing ongoing pain and dysfunction in the limb.

Key points about CRPS:

    • Pain characteristics: Burning, throbbing, stabbing pain that is often described as significantly greater than what would be expected from the initial injury. 
    • Associated symptoms: Swelling, changes in skin color and temperature (either warm or cold), hypersensitivity to touch, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, and decreased range of motion in the affected limb. 
    • Triggering events: Most commonly occurs after a fracture, surgery, sprain, or other trauma to a limb. 
    • Diagnosis: Based on clinical presentation of symptoms, medical history, and sometimes imaging studies. 
    • Treatment options: Medications for pain management, physical therapy, nerve blocks, psychological support, and sometimes specialized therapies like spinal cord stimulation.

D: Other Neuralgias and Neurogenic disorders

other Neuralgia and Neurogenic disorders: Please  consult for more details 

Our approach at Neurosciences Centers commences with a detailed assessment of your medical history and pain profile. If deemed suitable for SCS, a trial period with a temporary electrode is initiated to gauge effectiveness.
