implantable pulse generator

An implantable pulse generator (IPG) is a small device placed inside the body that sends electrical signals to specific nerves or muscles. It's commonly used to manage chronic conditions like pain, Parkinson's disease, or epilepsy. The device works by adjusting the electrical impulses to improve symptoms or restore function. It’s usually implanted under the skin, often near the affected area or in the chest, and is controlled externally or with a programming device. Think of it as a precisely targeted, rechargeable "brain" behind the scenes, helping to improve quality of life through tailored electrical therapy.
