1. What Is the Spinal Cord Stimulation Market?
The Spinal Cord Stimulation Market covers implantable neuromodulation systems delivering electrical pulses to the spinal dorsal column for chronic back and leg pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and CRPS. SCS encompasses tonic stimulation, high-frequency 10 kHz stimulation, burst stimulation, and closed-loop adaptive SCS systems. Market dynamics reflect high-frequency 10 kHz stimulation demonstrating superior back pain coverage over paresthesia-based therapy, chronic pain expanding SCS eligibility, and closed-loop systems adapting stimulation to patient posture.
