Lumbar Spine Spinal Cord Neuro-stimulation paddle electrode pain management multimedia. This movie illustrates the technique for performing a lumbar spinal cord stimulation using a paddle electrode. This movie shows patient positioning, skin preparation and incision, surgical approach, the laminotomy, paddle electrode insertion, test stimulation, extension lead tunneling, pulse generator connection and insertion over the buttock, and wound dressing. See attached pain management multimedia.
Special pain nerves carry pain messages from the body through the spinal cord, to the brain. When the messages reach the brain, we become aware of the pain. If the adjacent non-pain nerves in the spinal cord are activated, it can decrease the transmission of the pain nerve's pain messages to the brain and hence decrease our awareness of the pain.
