Cervical Spinal Cord Neuro-stimulation wire electrode pain management illustrations. This movie illustrates the technique for performing a cervical spinal cord stimulation using a wire electrode. This movie shows patient positioning, skin preparation, insertion of two wire electrodes, test stimulation, extension lead tunneling, pulse generator connection and insertion over buttock, and wound dressing. A trial stimulation is usually undertaken for a few days to assess pain relief during daily activities. You will be asked to keep a diary of the electrical patterns used and their resulting pain relief during pain management illustrations. Trial stimulation is not essential, but allows assessment of pain relief, daily function and sleep improvement, and narcotic medication reduction before permanently implanting the generator or receiver.
