How Peripheral Nerve Stimulator Works
A peripheral nerve stimulator is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate chronic pain by disrupting pain signals along peripheral nerves. Using advanced imaging for guidance, surgeons make a small incision and implant a tiny device near the affected nerve.
​
This device emits electrical impulses that interfere with pain signals, preventing them from reaching the brain. The precise placement and adjustable settings of the stimulator ensure targeted pain relief with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. By reducing pain, this procedure aims to improve symptoms such as persistent discomfort, numbness, and muscle weakness.
​
Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, the procedure offers shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and preserved mobility. Ultimately, it significantly enhances the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions.
