Find Out How The Effex Procedure Can Relieve Your Chemotherapy Neuropathy Pain
The Effex Procedure:
How it works
The Effex Procedure uses a very small battery that is implanted just above the glutes. Tiny wires from the battery connect to leads placed over the spinal cord. These leads emit a high-frequency signal which blocks unwanted pain signals from reaching your brain, providing lasting pain relief.
Studies have shown an average 73% reduction in pain for patients who have received this treatment.
What doctors are saying
The Neuropathy Treatment Institute Process
Careful patient selection is the key to great outcomes. First, you will undergo a screening process to determine if the Effex Procedure is right for you.
If you are a candidate, you will be scheduled for a trial procedure. In the trial, the battery is not implanted, but worn on a belt for about a week. If you experience strong results, this means the permanent implant will almost certainly produce the same!
About 75-90% of trials are successful and the patients then move on to the permanent implant. That procedure is performed outpatient, meaning patients walk out of the surgery center on the same day.
