Dr. Segura First in Louisiana to Implant New Spinal Cord Stimulator
A New Milestone in Pain ManagementAt Segura Neuroscience and Pain Center, we are proud to share a groundbreaking milestone in modern pain management. Dr. Ronald C. Segura has made history as the first doctor in Louisiana to implant a new spinal cord stimulator, the BIOTRONIK Prospera™ system. This innovative procedure was performed at AVALA hospital, reflecting a collaborative commitment to advancing patient care in our region.
About the Prospera™ SCS System
The Prospera™ SCS System stands out for its incorporation of RESONANCE™, a proprietary multiphase stimulation paradigm designed to deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord and modulate pain signals before they reach the brain. Additionally, its Embrace One™ proactive care model enables automatic, objective, daily remote monitoring of the device and therapy—allowing for continuous optimization of the treatment over time.
Offering Hope for Chronic Pain Sufferers
This significant step forward offers new hope for patients living with chronic pain conditions. Clinical studies, including the BENEFIT-02 trial, have demonstrated the potential of the RESONANCE™ technology to provide meaningful pain relief. However, as with any emerging medical innovation, continued evaluation and long-term studies are essential to fully understand the benefits and limitations of the Prospera™ system.
Dr. Segura’s Commitment to Innovation
As a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Interventional Pain Medicine, Dr. Segura has long been a leader in adopting cutting-edge pain management solutions in Louisiana. His commitment to exploring advanced therapies for chronic pain has helped set new standards in the field.
“The BIOTRONIK Prospera™ SCS System is a game-changer for patients living with chronic pain,” said Dr. Ronald Segura. “What sets it apart is the ability to continuously monitor and optimize therapy in real-time, which means we can provide more precise, responsive care. It’s a major leap forward—not just in technology, but in how we’re able to improve quality of life for our patients.”
