A new study published in Neuromodulation (1) demonstrates that automatic, daily remote monitoring of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) devices enables the first real-time visibility into post-implant ...

This study is the first of its kind in developing an off-label indication for RLS. Other conditions we’re considering ...

As the local anesthetic faded after surgery, Sean Forsberg waited for the pain to come back. The 39-year-old Surrey resident ...

Medtronic has secured FDA approval for its first closed-loop spinal cord stimulator, designed to take in signals from the body and adjust its therapy automatically. The Inceptiv implant for chronic ...

Inceptiv is a small device, implanted in the lower torso with leads to the spinal cord, that provides responsive counter-stimulation to relieve chronic pain. The device was approved by the FDA in ...

A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...

Spinal cord stimulators are mainly used to treat chronic back pain, especially when other less invasive treatments have not worked. They also aim to reduce people's reliance on risky pain medicines.

Spinal cord stimulators are electrical devices that are surgically implanted in the body to treat long-term pain. They have a battery pack and leads that deliver electrical impulses directly to the ...

Schematic illustration of the noninvasive closed-loop spinal interface. Hand muscle activity is recorded by surface electrodes and converted into trigger pulses for magnetic stimulation applied over ...

Shocking news: A new study finds that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord shows “therapeutic potential” for the treatment of depression. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati explored how ...
