Wednesday, February 6, 2008, 6:00 PM EST (23:00 UTC) from Beth Israel Medical
Center, New York City, NY
Premiering February 6, 2008, Beth Israel Medical Center will showcase
recent advances in chronic pain therapy and innovations in spinal cord
stimulation through a specialized webcast. Spinal cord stimulation uses
an implantable device that is surgically placed under the skin to send
mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord or to a specific nerve.
Visit www.or-live.com/bethisrael/1867
on or after February 6, 2008 to see the program.
This webcast features an inside look at recent advances in spinal cord
stimulation by following a patient through the procedure, performed
by Robert Sheu, MD, Director of the Pain Division, Department of Pain
Medicine and Palliative Care. It also highlights interviews with former
patients who now enjoy pain relief through spinal cord stimulation.
Another option for the treatment of chronic pain, spinal cord stimulation
can lead to a dramatic improvement in pain control and quality of life.
Viewers will have an opportunity to email questions to Dr. Sheu about
the procedure.
