- Labor and DeliveryPlacement of spinal cord stimulator involves careful screening of patients with emphasis on detailed medical history, prior therapy, prior surgeries and a psychological evaluation and education on how the system operates. Its placement is a two part procedure. First part involves placement of trial electrodes in the epidural space (similar to epidural catheter placed during childbirth). It is done under the X-ray guidance with patient sedated and relaxed. Electrode position is adjusted and patient is asked to tell if the stimulation is felt in the same area as the pain. Once all the painful areas are covered by this buzzing sensation, then the electrodes are connected to an external pulse generator which the patient can operate. Once the patient is comfortable with its use, he is discharged hone to resume his holiday routine. This trial usually lasts 5 days and patients are asked to keep a daily diary noting the pain intensity with spinal cord stimulator on and off. This is the time when patients decide whether they are getting enough pain relief to warrant a permanent placement of the spinal cord stimulator. Generally a 50% or more reduction in pain is considered as a favorable response. The trial electrode is removed at the office and patients are scheduled for the permanent placement if the trial is favorable.
