Peripheral Nerve Stimulators: Revolutionizing Pain Management
Chronic pain can be a debilitating condition, affecting every aspect of daily life—from work productivity to social interactions and mental well-being. While medications and physical therapy often help, they are not always sufficient. This is where peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) come into play, offering a minimally invasive, targeted solution for patients struggling with persistent nerve-related pain.
Peripheral nerve stimulators are small devices designed to deliver electrical impulses directly to specific nerves in the body. These impulses interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, effectively reducing the perception of pain. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on systemic medication, PNS targets the source of discomfort, making it a highly precise therapy.
The procedure to implant a peripheral nerve stimulator is typically straightforward and performed under local anesthesia. A thin wire, known as a lead, is placed near the targeted nerve. This lead is connected to…
