Stimwave Stimulator | Pain Management

FAST FACTS

What is Stimwave?

The Stimwave Spinal Cord Stimulator is a revolutionary solution and the world's smallest device created to provide pain relief to any part of the body. The Stimwave Spinal Cord Stimulator is an effective way to achieve long-term pain relief without the risks associated with opioid medications.

How does Stimwave work?

A flexible micro-stimulator is introduced into the body and placed closely to the nerves causing your pain. The device is then activated by a wearable antenna that transmits power to the micro-stimulator, giving the power to control your pain relief. Using a mobile device, you can control your stimulation. The stimulation from the device acts on your nerves, blocking the painful signals from reaching your brain. For more information on how Stimwave works, watch the animated video above!

What pain can Stimwave treat?

Most spinal cord stimulators are used to treat back and leg pain, specifically. However, Stimwave's peripheral indication allows its technology to treat a broad variety of pain including migraines, carpel tunnel syndrome, previous knee/hip/shoulder replacement, severe ankle pain, and much more.

What sets Stimwave apart?

Micro-Stimulators

The Freedom Stimulator is the smallest implanted stimulator system. Introduced through a needle, it is the epitome of minimally invasive-ness and defines true Wireless Pain Relief.

Wearable Technology

The Wearable Antenna is externally worn and transmits the power and instructions to the Freedom Stimulator. Small, sleek, and fashionable. It is wearable technology that conforms into your daily life.

Programmers

Easy stimulation configuration interface is available through modern iOS mobile devices.

Doc's Corner: Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation is an effective technique for the treatment of pain for some patients. The basic concept of this treatment is small electrodes are placed on the outside of the spine, which act as a pacemaker for the back. Patients often diagnosed with failed spine surgery syndrome, which is a result of previous surgery to the spine, suffer from long-term pain issues which are not relieved even with strong narcotics. A very light stimulation with electric current is given to the nerves which carry the pain signal, which can be controlled directly by the patient. This stimulation can relieve pain from the failed spine surgery syndrome on a permanent basis. The patients have to undergo psychological evaluation and a temporary trial to check for the effectiveness of this treatment. If the trial yields a result of over 60-70%, we can go ahead and perform the spinal cord stimulator implant and give the patient long-term, effective pain relief.

Doc's Corner: Stimwave Spinal Cord Stimulator

Traditionally, spinal cord stimulator implants would involve implantations of a sometimes-bulky battery device. This battery can cause pain and discomfort in at least 8-10% of patients, according to a recent study, and may require the removal of this device. A new system recently developed by the company Stimwave solves this dilemma. It involves the same clinical therapy of the electrical stimulation of the nerve without use of the implanted battery. Instead, the battery is about the size of a small pager and is worn on the outside with a belt or a clip. This technology also allows for electronic stimulator treatment for knee, foot, carpel tunnel, shoulder, and hip pain. Contact the Pain Management Center of Meridian to discuss these innovative treatment options.

Doc's Corner: Spinal Cord Stimulation

Patients are often diagnosed with Failed Spine Surgery Syndrome if they have had previous spinal surgery. These patients have long term pain issues which are not even relieved by strong narcotic medications. Spinal cord stimulation is an effective technique for these patients. Essentially, this treatment places small electrodes on the outside of the spine which connect to a small battery, serving as a pacemaker for the back. With very light, patient-controlled stimulation, the patients can undergo a trial. If the trial is successful, we can give the patients a complete implant to give them long-lasting relief.

Doc's Corner: Treating Failed Spine Surgery Syndrome

Spinal cord stimulation is a very effective technique for patients with chronic pain. Some patients have failed spine surgery syndrome, which means previous surgery on the neck or back has caused severe pain that is not even relieved by strong narcotics. We implant two electrodes in the back of the spine which act as a pacemaker for the spine. Before this procedure, patients undergo psychological evaluation and a trial of this treatment to see if it is effective for them. If the patient experiences 60%-70% pain relief from the trial, then we will proceed with the spinal cord stimulator implant. The spinal cord stimulation implant allows the patient to experience long-term pain relief without using any narcotics at all. If you or a loved one is suffering from chronic pain or failed spine surgery syndrome, please contact Dr. Pasha today!

What Patients Are Saying

"So I'm interested in Stimwave.

NOW WHAT?"

1. Consult a physician

Due to Stimwave's broad spectrum of pain relief options, patients should consult Dr. Pasha, a certified Stimwave provider, to determine if they are a candidate for the Stimwave stimulator. Click here to get in touch with us and schedule an appointment.

2. Trial Procedure

Before a permanent stimulator is implanted, a patient is able to test out their pain relief through a trial procedure. A trial stimulator is percutaneously inserted for a therapy evaluation; results will be reviewed with Dr. Pasha at the end of the trial period to determine if the pain relief was satisfactory.

3. Permanent Implantation Procedure

After you are qualified for a permanent stimulator to manage your pain, Dr. Pasha will place one or more through a needle next to the target nerves in order to block their signal. The implantation is minimally invasive.

4. Live Pain-Free

Once the implantation is complete, the patient can control the stimulation with the Wearable Antenna Assembly that clips onto clothing. As needed, Dr. Pasha is available to program the stimulator to personalize individual pain relief. With Stimwave's therapy, the patient may experience relief of chronic pain, decreased drug usage, improved mobility, and an overall better quality of life.
