ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a system for treating chronic pain including a lead configured and adapted to be percutaneously implanted into an epidural space of a spinal cord, a stimulation generator that delivers electrical stimulation to the spinal cord through the lead to precisely locate the treatment area, and an ablation generator that delivers ablation energy to the treatment area through the same lead to inhibit the chronic pain. The invention also provides a method for treating chronic pain, including providing a lead, inserting the lead percutaneously into the epidural space, locating the treatment area by probing the epidural space while the lead sends electrical stimulation signals, and then ablating the treatment area.
