Boston Scientific: Chronic Pain and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

Boston Scientific Neuromodulation is an innovation leader in microelectronic implantable technologies used to treat chronic neuropathic pain. With spinal cord stimulation (SCS), a small pulse generator (or IPG) and thin wires (known as leads) are placed into the body. When your body experiences pain, those leads deliver tiny pulses to the nerves that mask pain signals as they travel to the brain. Spinal cord stimulation is a reversible therapy that has been in use for more than 40 years and has helped over 400,000 people find relief from chronic pain.
