Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to targeted nerves. This therapy helps disrupt pain signals and provides lasting relief for chronic nerve-related conditions.

Precision-Based Pain Management

Peripheral nerve stimulation is an advanced treatment that targets specific nerves responsible for chronic pain. Using a small implantable device, electrical impulses are sent to the affected nerve, helping to interrupt pain signals and replace them with a gentle tingling sensation.

Who Can Benefit?

PNS is typically used for patients experiencing pain in specific areas such as the limbs, trunk, or post-surgical sites. Its often a solution for individuals who have tried other therapies without success.

Advantages of PNS

Minimally invasive
Reversible and adjustable
Reduces or eliminates the need for pain medications
Offers targeted pain relief without affecting the entire nervous system

Peripheral nerve stimulation is an innovative, customizable solution that puts patients in control of their pain.

How It Works

Trial Phase: A trial procedure is conducted prior to permanent implantation to test results and pain relief using the device. It is typically an outpatient procedure that takes 45 to 60 minutes. During this treatment, a small electrode is placed near the nerve that is the source of the pain using X-ray guidance and is connected to an external stimulator / remote. The trial typically lasts 5-7 days to give you time to evaluate the efficacy of the therapy during your day-to-day activities.
Permanent Implant: If the trial is successful, then we move forward with permanent implantation of the system. This system is placed during an outpatient procedure and typically takes 2 hours.
Living with a PNS: After implantation you will be able to use a remote to control your device, allowing you to adjust the intensity depending on your pain levels.
