Analgesic spinal cord electrical stimulation system pulse generator
Definition
A battery-powered external component of a spinal cord electrical stimulation system intended to be used during a trial period (< 30 days) to noninvasively test operating parameters prior to implantation of the permanent system. It produces electrical signals intended to relieve acute and/or chronic intractable pain (analgesia) via percutaneously implanted electrodes (not included) in the epidural space.
