What is Neuromodulation?
Neuromodulation is an advanced treatment option recommended to patients suffering from debilitating chronic pain conditions. This therapy involves an implanted device in the lower spine that uses lead wires to send electrical impulses that will block pain signals from reaching the brain. This is an excellent option for patients who experience chronic pain and are not able to find relief from conservative therapies like medications or pain injections.
BEST Health System is the leader in neuromodulation trials across the United States. We see how much relief this treatment option brings to many patients, and we are passionate about helping more individuals achieve relief. Neuromodulation is a minimally invasive procedure that involves small incisions to implant the device and attach lead wires.

The Benefits of Neuromodulation for Chronic Pain
- Pain Reduction. Neuromodulation can directly interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain, leading to a reduction in pain perception.
- Improved Quality of Life. Many chronic pain patients are not able to comfortably live a life full of family, friends, and hobbies. This procedure helps you get back to an active and fulfilling life.
- Decreased Reliance on Medications. Neuromodulation can reduce the need for opioid pain medications, thereby decreasing the risk of addiction and the side effects associated with long-term opioid use.
- Personalization. Neuromodulation allows for individualized treatment approaches, which can be adjusted based on patient-specific pain profiles and responses to therapy.
- Long-Term Relief. Neuromodulation devices can last up to ten years. This reduces the need for additional treatment or medications in the future.
