neurologist - A physician who is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system.
neurostimulation - Neurostimulation (including spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation) uses a small neurostimulation system that is surgically placed under the skin to send mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord or a specific nerve(s) that's causing pain. The electrical impulses are delivered through a lead (a special medical wire) that is also surgically placed. These electrical impulses block the signal of pain from reaching the brain.
neurostimulator - A neurostimulator is either an IPG (See Implantable pulse generator ) or is a small radio frequency system. Both of these systems are surgerical placed under the skin to send mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord or to the specific nerve that is causing pain. The electrical impulses are delivered through a lead (a special medical wire) that is also surgically placed. These electrical impulses block the signal of pain from reaching the brain.
