Peripheral Never Stimulation occurs by placing leads near an area of pain, allowing electrical impulses to be delivered to near-by peripheral nerves. This stimulation interferres with the body’s normal pain signaling, leading to improvments in chronic pain. A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) can be used to treat pain at almost any location in the body including the neck, low back, and major joints.
Placing a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) involves two procedures: an initial 7-day trial and then a permanent implant.
two leads are placed near the desired peripheral nerve using image guidance.
the two leads exit the skin and are attached to an external pulse generator.
The device is programmed to deliver the desired electrical impulse.
two leads are removed in office 7-days later.
two leads are placed near the desired peripheral nerve using image guidance.
the leads are kept under the skin and directed toward a created pocket under the skin.
a tiny, implantable pulse generator is placed within the pocket and the leads are connected.
Surgical cite closed by the physician.
The device is programmed to deliver the desired electrical impulse.
