What are Medtronic Pain Therapies and how do they work?
A. Medtronic Pain Therapies, which include intrathecal drug delivery and neurostimulation, are proven, effective treatment alternatives when other pain treatments provide unsatisfactory relief. Results may vary depending on patient. Intrathecal drug delivery and neurostimulation work directly on the spinal cord, which is the highway for pain signals. These therapies are thought to work by interfering with pain signals before they reach the brain. They can offer good to excellent pain relief, and improve your ability to go about daily activities. If you are interested in Medtronic Pain Therapies, talk to your doctor about a screening test to help determine whether you are an appropriate candidate.
