What is the Nevro HFX system?

At Rapid City Interventional Pain, we offer advanced solutions for chronic pain management, with the Nevro HFX System providing a non-pharmacological alternative for those not finding relief from traditional therapies. This innovative spinal cord stimulation (SCS) device uses high-frequency electrical impulses to deliver pain relief without the tingling sensations of conventional systems.

The Nevro HFX System stands out due to its high-frequency impulses, which have been clinically validated to reduce pain without discomfort. It features sophisticated electrodes that conform to the spinal cord’s unique contours, ensuring comprehensive coverage and effective stimulation. The implantable pulse generator, smaller than a postage stamp, delivers precisely controlled electrical pulses to target nerve fibers, interrupting pain signals sent to the brain.

This system is effective for conditions such as back and leg pain, failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and neuropathic pain. Its high-definition stimulation technology offers precise and individualized pain management, optimizing results for patients.

At Rapid City Interventional Pain, personalized care is a priority. Candidates for the Nevro HFX System undergo a trial period with a temporary device to ensure the system provides the desired pain relief before proceeding with the permanent implant. This thorough process allows for optimal outcomes and long-term pain management.

How does the Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulation system work?

At Rapid City Interventional Pain, we offer the advanced Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system for chronic pain management. This innovative treatment uses high-frequency electrical stimulation to target and modulate the spinal cord’s neural pathways, providing significant pain relief without the tingling or buzzing sensations of traditional SCS devices.

The Nevro HFX system operates at frequencies up to 10 kHz, which more effectively disrupts pain signal transmission. It consists of an implanted pulse generator, slender leads, and an external remote control. The pulse generator is discreetly implanted under the skin near the abdomen or buttocks and emits mild electrical impulses. These impulses are transmitted to the spinal cord through leads placed in the epidural space, precisely targeting the pain pathways.

This advanced system is ideal for managing conditions such as back and leg pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome. It offers a non-invasive, non-pharmacological option for individuals seeking relief from chronic pain when other treatments have not been effective.

What conditions can Nevro HFX implants treat?

The Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulation implant is an advanced treatment option for managing chronic pain, particularly beneficial for individuals who have not found adequate relief through conventional therapies. This cutting-edge device modulates spinal cord activity using high-frequency electrical impulses, offering significant pain relief without the discomfort commonly associated with older systems.

The Nevro HFX implant is effective for managing a range of conditions, including:

Chronic Neuropathic Pain: For individuals suffering from nerve damage or dysfunction, the Nevro HFX system delivers high-frequency impulses to modulate pain signals, offering a promising solution for nerve-related pain.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): This condition occurs when chronic pain persists after spinal surgery. The Nevro HFX implant may help provide relief for those who have not responded to traditional treatments.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): For individuals with CRPS, a condition characterized by severe pain and sensitivity, the Nevro HFX implant targets and alleviates pain by interrupting the pain signals sent to the brain.

By offering a non-invasive, non-pharmacological approach, the Nevro HFX system provides an effective alternative for individuals seeking relief from chronic pain when other treatments have failed.

What is the procedure to get a Nevro HFX implant?

The Nevro HFX implant is an advanced treatment for chronic pain, particularly for those who have not found relief through traditional therapies. This spinal cord stimulation (SCS) device offers a promising solution, helping to modulate pain signals in the spinal cord with high-frequency electrical impulses. Here’s what to expect during the Nevro HFX implant process:

Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation:

For patients with persistent pain, a consultation with pain management specialists is the first step. During the visit, the medical history is reviewed, a physical examination is conducted, and imaging studies may be used to assess if the Nevro HFX system is the right option. The goal is to understand the specific pain condition and treatment goals to create a tailored plan.

Trial Phase:

If deemed suitable, patients undergo a trial phase with a temporary spinal cord stimulator. This phase typically lasts about a week and involves placing temporary leads in the epidural space, with an external stimulator worn outside the body. During this trial, patients can assess whether the stimulator provides pain relief and if the system is effective.

Implantation Procedure:

If the trial is successful, the next step is the permanent implantation of the Nevro HFX device. The pulse generator is implanted under the skin, and the leads are placed in the epidural space, where they deliver high-frequency electrical impulses to modulate pain signals.

The Nevro HFX implant offers a non-invasive, long-term solution for managing chronic pain, and improving the quality of life for those suffering from conditions like neuropathic pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome.
