UK first for implanted pain device
A GROUND-BREAKING pain management device featuring technology similar to that found in the iPhone and Wii remotes has been implanted into a patient for the first time in the UK.
The neurostimulator at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals will treat chronic back pain using Spinal Cord Stimulation, with mild electrical pulses delivered to the spinal cord to mask the body's pain signals and replace them with a tingling sensation.
The neurostimulator is the first in the world to use motion-sensing technology similar to the spirit level function in an iPhone or Wii remotes. It can sense a change in the patient's body position or activity level and automatically adjust how much pain relieving stimulation to deliver.
