Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or CRPS, is a challenging condition that can cause severe, long-lasting pain. When other treatments don’t work, Spinal Cord Stimulation, or SCS, may help. SCS uses mild electrical signals to change how pain is processed in the spinal cord, which can reduce pain and improve function.

Studies show that many CRPS patients experience meaningful pain relief with SCS. Some research suggests it can also lower the need for pain medications over time. While not every patient responds the same way, SCS has helped many regain mobility and improve their quality of life when other treatments have failed.

Like any procedure, SCS comes with risks, including possible device issues or the need for adjustments. However, advancements in technology have improved success rates, making it a valuable option for those struggling with severe CRPS pain.

If you’ve tried multiple treatments without relief, SCS may be worth considering. Talk to your doctor to see if it’s the right option for you.
