Cervical Spinal Cord Neuro-stimulation paddle pain management graphics. This movie illustrates the technique for performing a cervical spinal cord stimulation using a paddle electrode. This movie shows patient positioning, skin preparation and incision, surgical approach, the laminotomy, paddle electrode insertion, test stimulation, extension lead tunneling, pulse generator connection and insertion over buttock, and wound dressing. Spinal cord stimulation is used to decrease the sensation of pain from a particular area of the body by activating the adjacent non-pain nerves. It also works by stimulating pain inhibition in the brain. The first pain management graphics. A strip of electrodes on a lead is placed in the epidural space next to the spinal cord in the spinal canal. There are variable numbers of electrodes per lead, and more than one lead can be used.
