A new study has found that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapies could be a game-changer for those living with chronic back or leg pain. These therapies use electrical pulses to modify pain signals in the spinal cord, reducing the intensity of the pain. Compared to conventional medical management, which includes pain medications and physical therapy, both traditional and newer SCS therapies were found to be more effective. The newer types, like high-frequency and burst stimulation, showed the greatest improvements in reducing pain, increasing mobility, and enhancing quality of life.
If chronic back or leg pain is part of your journey, have you explored spinal cord stimulation therapies as an option? What’s your experience with managing pain through other methods, and would you consider trying advanced treatments like these?
