Introduction

The Boston Scientific Precision™ Spinal Cord Stimulator System with MultiWave
Technology (Precision SCS System) is prescribed for the management of chronic
pain. The system electrically stimulates the spinal cord to alter the perception of
pain signals that move along the nerve pathways on either side of the spine.
Before receiving your new Stimulator, you had the opportunity to test stimulation
therapy and decide if it would work for you. By choosing to have a stimulator
surgically implanted, you confirmed that spinal cord stimulation is capable of
providing you with good to excellent pain relief. As you go forward with this
therapy, your healthcare professionals will work with you to find the most
comfortable level of stimulation to cover the painful areas by adjusting your
Stimulator's settings. Although you may have pain areas that cannot be reached
by spinal cord stimulation, the goal is to bring you the most effective pain relief
possible. The more you help and work with your healthcare professionals, the
more likely you are to achieve the best outcome possible from your new Precision
system.
Boston Scientific is an organization dedicated to helping you manage your pain. We will help you make the most of this therapy for an
improved quality of life.
