Subcutaneous Electrode Implantation for Nerve Stimulation
Subcutaneous electrode implantation for nerve stimulation is a surgical procedure that involves placing electrodes close to the nerve or other target tissue through an incision in the skin. It is used to provide electrical stimulation to a target area in order to reduce pain or improve function.
This procedure is used to reduce chronic pain or improve function in people with conditions such as peripheral nerve injuries, post-stroke spasticity, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. It may also be used in people with movement disorders such as dystonia and tremors.
The electrodes are implanted, and then the lead wires are routed from the electrodes to a stimulator located beneath the skin in a pocket created for that purpose. The stimulator is connected to the electrodes and is used to deliver electrical stimulation to the target tissue in order to reduce pain or improve function.
After the procedure, the patient should expect to feel some tenderness, bruising, or swelling at the site of the incision. The patient should report any unexpected or excessive pain or bleeding to their doctor. As the patient heals, they may feel some discomfort when using the device or when increasing or decreasing the stimulation levels.
Subcutaneous electrode implantation for nerve stimulation is a surgical procedure that is used to reduce chronic pain or improve function in people with various conditions. It has been known to be an effective treatment and is generally considered safe. Recovery time can vary, but the patient should expect to have some mild discomfort during the healing process.
