Peripheral Nerve Stimulation devices

Peripheral nerve stimulation devices are medical tools that deliver controlled electrical impulses to specific nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. They are used to manage chronic pain by interfering with pain signals before they reach the brain. The device typically consists of a small generator placed under the skin and thin leads that connect to targeted nerves. By modulating nerve activity, these devices can reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life for patients with conditions like nerve injury or persistent pain syndromes. They are a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive surgeries or long-term medication use.
