This system consists of ultra-thin electrodes that are placed in the epidural space near the spinal cord, connected to a programmable pulse generator implanted under the skin. <\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The device works based on the theory of pain gating, sending controlled electrical signals that &#8220;close the neurological gate&#8221; and prevent pain messages from reaching the brain. Patients can control the intensity and frequency of stimulation via an external remote control, allowing customized adjustments according to their daily needs. The implantation procedure is performed in two stages: first a temporary trial to assess efficacy, followed by definitive implantation if the results are satisfactory.

class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Neurostimulators offer revolutionary advantages in the management of intractable chronic pain:<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Personalized control<\/strong>: Patients can adjust the intensity and stimulation patterns according to their specific needs in real time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Reversibility<\/strong>: Unlike destructive procedures, neurostimulation is completely reversible and the device can be removed if necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Significant reduction of opioids<\/strong>: It allows to reduce up to 50-70% the consumption of potent analgesic drugs, avoiding dependence and side effects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Functional improvement<\/strong>: Patients experience greater mobility, better sleep and ability to perform daily activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Advanced technology<\/strong>: Modern devices include rechargeable batteries lasting up to 10 years and sophisticated programming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Continuous treatment<\/strong>: Provides pain relief 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Pre-assessment<\/strong>: The trial period allows confirmation of efficacy prior to final implementation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Cost-effectiveness in the long term<\/strong>: Although it requires an initial investment, it reduces expenses in medications, consultations and other treatments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Quality of life<\/strong>: Restores functionality and general well-being, allowing patients to resume a productive life.<\/p>\n<p
