”My doctor explained that [SCS] is a little bit like cheating your body: You’re going to keep your pain, but your brain is not going to know about it. Basically, we are going to change your pain sensation to feel like bubbles or sparkles. And my doctor said that’s why we have a trial session. —Monica Cienfuegos Failed back surgery, herniated disk, scar tissue

At this time, you are entering a trial period, where you will Test Drive the SCS therapy to determine whether your pain is reduced significantly or completely.

During the Test Drive, the amount of pain reduction you experience with the Precision System can vary based on the following:

• Complexity and location of your pain.
• Type of pain signal.
• Ability to program the system optimally for your condition.
• Your commitment to the process.

The Precision Plus SCS System is the most advanced spinal cord stimulation system available and is specially designed to give you the most opportunity to treat your pain with paresthesia. Paresthesia is the comforting sensation that replaces the pain signals.

The Precision Plus System is the only one that gives you the tools to direct paresthesia to your pain areas with an easy-to-use controller, putting the power in your hands.

Similar to an epidural, your Pain Specialist can perform a simple in-office procedure that will allow you to experience the paresthesia that Precision offers. You and your Pain Specialist can decide if it is right for you.
