Here are four insights:

 

1. The neurostimulators deliver stimulation to the epidural space near patients’ spines through leads.

 

2. The titanium leads deliver vibrations where the patient feels pain.

 

3. Additionally, the therapy may interrupt pain signals before they’re processed, so patients feel tingling instead of pain.

 

4. Patients can adjust their neurostimulators intensity, frequency, bandwidth and simulation location with a remote.
