With a lifetime incidence reported to be between 10% and 40%, sciatica is a common condition causing debilitating pain [1.6.2]. A **nerve stimulator for sciatica** is a device that uses electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, offering a drug-free method for pain management [1.2.1, 1.10.1].

In 2023, 24.3% of adults in the U.S. experienced chronic pain [1.11.1]. For those who don't find relief through conventional methods, the question becomes, 'Why would someone need a spinal stimulator?' This device offers a sophisticated alternative for managing persistent pain.

According to studies on long-term spinal cord stimulator use, a significant portion of patients will eventually require a revision procedure, making it crucial to understand **how often spinal cord stimulators need to be replaced**. This longevity is primarily dictated by whether the device's internal battery is rechargeable or non-rechargeable.
