What is the success rate of a spinal stimulator?
Abstract. Objective: Presently, the long-term success rate of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) ranges from 47% to 74%. SCS efficacy is inversely proportional to the passage of time between development of chronic pain syndrome and time of implantation. To improve outcomes, implantation should be performed early.
How often are batteries replaced in a spinal cord stimulator?
The average battery life for rechargeable spinal cord stimulators is 7-10 years (compared to 2-5 years for non-rechargeable). Fewer replacements: Many people can go more than ten years before needing a replacement. This means people with a rechargeable battery undergo fewer replacement surgeries.
