![]() ![]() Yes, NeuroSphere does work through Proclaim Plus. That they're getting more complete pain relief. We're seeing extremely positive results for FlexBurst360.Ĭan Proclaim Plus be connected remotely through NeuroSphere Virtual Clinic? They really don't notice the difference in the programming with the FlexBurst360. They don't feel the stimulation where it's being directed or located. No, because it's programmed below the sensory threshold. We can focus stimulation in more than one area.Īnd they don't feel this work being done throughout their body? So, we're able to focus the burst on those various locations to treat more patients who have multi-site pain.įor example, a patient who not only has low back or leg pain but also has significant pain in their right side of their chest due to trauma there. We can deliver up to six locations of stimulation. ![]() In most of our BurstDR patients, we have only used two of those contacts to deliver the electrical energy to a single targeted location. Previously, when a physician would put in a wire called a "lead," most often they use two 8-contact leads which then provide 16 electrical contacts inside the patient’s nervous system. But now we're able to activate it in the nervous system in multiple locations. We see relief in these emotional aspects of pain with BurstDR compared to tonic.Īll those characteristics of Burst DR stimulation are in FlexBurst360. It also activates the pathway that impacts over vigilance to the pain where the person keeps thinking about the chronic pain, ruminating on it. In addition to providing pain relief, the signal - because it has these characteristics - also sends signals to other areas in the brain. But you'll see why by the end.īurton has a flight to catch and we have an overhead bag full of questions to get answered about this new technology before he takes off. Program it how you need, it's still Proclaim Plus, still FlexBurst360, still BurstDR.įor people living with chronic pain, Proclaim Plus is the opening clarinet's signature siren call that something “truly special,” as Burton describes it, is about to wash all over you.Īre we rhapsodizing? Guilty. Bursts - or packets of electricity, tailored to your needs, if you will again - are coordinated and correlated rhythms of pain relief to multiple sites in the body that can stir hardened feelings from years of living with pain with the sensation of a new possibility: The potential for living without severe pain. Rather than tonic treatment - in SCS, simply speaking it's the idea of a consistent and constant pounding of electrical impulses that can leave a person with an unpleasant tingling - the key and the clue to the BurstDR invention is in its name. Like "Blue," Proclaim Plus spinal cord stimulation (SCS) with FlexBurst360 builds on the revolutionary advancements offered by BurstDR. Retrospective reviews decades on, including by Leonard Bernstein, hailed a composition that you can cut parts, interchange sections, add new cadenzas - packets of music, tailored to your tastes, if you will - and it’s still "Rhapsody in Blue."īurton, medical director of Abbott’s neuromodulation business, and his team have orchestrated their own sit-up-and-take-notice piece. Contemporary reviews hailed it not as one idea, but rather several correlated, combined and contrasting rhythms stirring hardened concertgoers with the sensation of a new voice. The infinite loop of Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue" that aurally connects Concourses B and C is perhaps the perfect musical accompaniment for this conversation.Īfter all, when "Blue" debuted to the world in 1924, it was revolutionary for an age defined by invention: Jazz. Allen Burton is changing planes at O'Hare Airport and, as anyone who's made the ride along the moving walkway in Terminal 1 knows, George Gershwin is his traveling companion for at least this part of his journey. ![]()
