Special pain nerves carry pain messages from the body through the spinal cord, to the brain. When the messages reach the brain, we become aware of the pain. If the adjacent non-pain nerves in the spinal cord are activated, it can decrease the transmission of the pain nerve's pain messages to the brain and our awareness of the pain.
Spinal cord stimulation is used to decrease the sensation of pain from an area of the body by activating the adjacent non-pain nerves. Lumbar Spinal Cord Neuro-stimulation paddle electrode personal injury movies.
