Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is a medical technique used to relieve pain by delivering small electrical impulses to specific nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. A small device, often implanted under the skin, sends these impulses to interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain. PNS can be an option for people who have not found relief through traditional pain treatments. It is typically considered for conditions like chronic pain, migraines, or nerve injuries, and can help improve quality of life by reducing discomfort and enhancing mobility.
