Has Anyone Tried Neuromodulation Treatment For Chronic Pain?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Swansea, UK

I've just been reading about neuromodulation also known as Spinal cord Stimulation as a treatment for chronic pain and wondered if anyone has had opportunity to try this? Its not a widely available treatment. I live in the U.K. where there are 1 or 2 specialist places you can go for the treatment. The Walton Centre is one of them. They implant an electrode or drug delivery system near the spinal cord.

After trying whatever I could in 27 years of Chronic Pain my Dr is trying to convince me to try the Spinal Cord Stimulator and I don’t know why I am a little afraid. It would help me a lot to know other experiences with it.
Thanks 😊
