How does Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) work?
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy disrupts the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and brain, helping to relieve pain.
SCS therapy involves a small device similar to a pacemaker placed under the skin with thin leads that deliver gentle electrical impulses near the spine. By blocking pain signals between the spinal cord and the brain, this stimulator can offer relief for chronic pain, enabling you to resume your favorite daily activities.
Inceptiv™ SCS listens and responds:
Fixed-output systems do not account for shifts in lead-to-spinal cord distance, which can compromise patient experience.
The solution is closed-loop with sensing technology: Inceptiv™ SCS system with closed loop technology senses* neutral response and automatically adjusts stimulation to maintain therapy level during all patients activities.

Variability in electrode distance to spinal cord due to activities and position

AUTOMATIC:
does not depend on adjustments from the patient to maintain stimulation

RESPONSIVE:
instantly adjusts therapy delivery in real time

SEAMLESS:
provides consistent therapy while patients perform a full range of daily activities

Be Inspired by Patients Who Found Relief
Dianne had been suffering from chronic back pain for many years before finally finding relief for it through Medtronic Inceptiv™ SCS.
She thinks getting the Inceptiv™ device has been a life changing experience because she has gotten her life back and feels 10 years younger after finding relief for her back pain.
