Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is a medical treatment that involves using a small device to send electrical impulses to a specific nerve in the body. This technique helps manage pain or other symptoms by altering how the nerves communicate with the brain. A thin wire, called a lead, is placed near the nerve, usually through a minor procedure. The device can be adjustable and may provide relief for various conditions, such as chronic pain or migraines, without the need for medications or more invasive surgeries. PNS aims to improve quality of life for those suffering from persistent discomfort.
