A spinal cord stimulator is a device used to exert pulsed electrical signals to the spinal cord to control chronic pain or, when applied in the lumbar region of the spinal cord, to control spasticity or augment gait Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), in the simplest form, consists of stimulating electrodes, implanted in the epidural space, an electrical pulse generator, implanted in the lower abdominal area or gluteal region, conducting wires connecting the electrodes to the generator, and the generator remote control. SCS has notable analgesic properties and, at the present, is used mostly in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome and refractory pain due to ischemia.
