  • Publication number: 20040015202
    Abstract: A system for providing pain relief to a person includes a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) generator, an infusion pump, a controller for selectively controlling generation of an electrical stimulation signal from the SCS generator and for selectively pumping medication from the infusion pump, and a lead adapted for placement along the spinal cord of the person. The lead includes electrodes connected to the SCS generator for providing SCS to a first location on the spinal cord of the person and an infusion port for delivering medication from the infusion pump to a second location on the spinal cord. A corresponding method of providing pain relief includes implanting a combination infusion/spinal cord stimulation device along the spinal cord of the person and then, simultaneously, alternatively, or serially, infusing fluid medication at a first location of the spinal cord using the device and providing SCS at a second location using the same device.
