Quick answer
Epidural stimulation delivers targeted electrical stimulation near the spinal cord to support neural activity below the level of a spinal cord injury. It is considered for select, carefully assessed cases as part of a broader rehabilitation plan, not as a standalone or universally applicable treatment.

01What Epidural Stimulation Involves
Topic 01 of 2Skip ahead: Who Is Typically Considered a Candidate
The short answer, before the detail below.
Stem Cell Care India offers epidural stimulation treatment by implementing a device in the epidural space which continually carries electric signals to the spinal cord.
Epidural stimulation has aided preceding patients to recoup some voluntary motor function. The technology comprises a device implanted in the epidural space which constantly delivers electric signals to the spinal cord. These electric signals mimic the ones that are delivered by the brain to voluntarily control the body's movements. The epidural stimulation device is offered by Medtronic.
02Who Is Typically Considered a Candidate
Topic 02 of 2

- Patients with a confirmed, specific spinal cord injury profile suited to this approach
- Patients who are medically stable and cleared for the procedure involved
