This remarkable approach revives dormant neural networks, aiming to enhance movement and alleviate discomfort. Our team is dedicated to walking alongside you, creating a path toward renewed vitality and a better quality of life.
Epidural stimulation represents a significant advancement in treating spinal cord injuries. This method involves delivering a continuous flow of electrical current to the lower part of the spinal cord, which has shown promising results in improving motor and sensory functions. Currently, it is considered one of the most effective treatments available for both complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries, offering new hope for recovery and rehabilitation.
Epidural stimulation offers a range of benefits, particularly for individuals with Spinal Cord injuries:
Neurostimulator: These devices generate electrical pulses based on programmable parameters. They are available in both rechargeable and non-rechargeable models.
Lead: A lead is a thin wire with a protective coating, featuring electrodes near its tip. The primary function of the electrodes is to transmit the electrical pulses to the targeted stimulation site.
Clinical Programmer: This tool is essential in the mapping process. It is used by healthcare professionals to program the implanted neurostimulator.
Patient Programmer: This device becomes particularly useful for patients when they return home, as it assists in continuing the rehabilitation process independently.
While undergoing epidural stimulation, a patient should also receive supportive therapies and medications to facilitate full recovery. These include:
The process of Epidural Stimulation is undertaken in spinal cord injury patients to improve functions related to cardiovascular and other autonomic nervous system aspects.
Meet the team of highly specialised and experienced neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopedicians, and other experts in the field of neurology and spine care. Our team is dedicated to providing personalised and compassionate care to each patient, with the goal of helping them achieve the best possible outcomes.
We continuously incorporate cutting-edge technologies from around the world into our offerings, such as a surgical system that allows for precise and confident complex procedures. We use magnetic stimulation to treat certain neurological conditions and create personalised brain maps for tailored treatment plans. Nerve monitoring during surgeries ensures the nervous system is not compromised, and a robotic exoskeleton aids in mobility issues. Our goal at IBS Hospital is to provide the best care possible, utilising the latest and most innovative technologies available.
