In an era where chronic pain remains a pervasive challenge, affecting millions worldwide, a beacon of hope emerges from Spain. Spinally Medical, a pioneer in the realm of intrathecal spinal cord stimulation (iSCS) technology, proudly presents its revolutionary idea of subarachnoid FuturaLead™. Carles García-Vitoria, Pain Doctor and the CSO of Spinally, shares his optimism about this innovation, stating, “We believe that what we can bring to the market will overcome many of the limitations of current pain therapy".
The disclosure of FuturaLead™ has captured global interest, fostering partnerships with Key Opinion Leaders, unlocking opportunities for international grants and accelerators—areas where Spinally is already making its mark—and attracting the attention of leading market players.
This new type of stimulation lead, marks a significant leap forward in the treatment of chronic pain. “Undoubtedly, the need is unmet. Patients and their families, healthcare systems, key market players and governments alike are in search of a treatment that is highly effective, comfortable to use, easy to implant and capable of reducing the incredibly huge economic losses currently being experienced.” – Pawel Soluch, CEO.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has undergone transformative changes since its conceptual foundation in the 1960s, based on the gate-control theory of pain. This theory proposed that the spinal cord contains a neurological "gate" that blocks pain signals to pass from the body to the brain. Over the decades, advancements in technology and understanding of neurophysiology have refined SCS methods. Although this quite effective and non-addictive therapy has been embraced, it still confronts significant limitations. Meanwhile, opioids - the second major form of therapy - are not only highly addictive but also potentially lethal. Consequently, governments worldwide are combating their use and advocating for a market shift towards SCS.
In designing our technology, we incorporated insights from pain doctors, scientific research, patient experiences, and market demand. All of this, combined with our invention created the FuturaLead™. This technology promises to enhance the efficacy and safety of spinal cord stimulation and recording, featuring benefits:
