Abstract

Background: Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been a part of neuromodulation for decades. New systems and advancements have the potential to bring renewed focus to this subfield and alter the risk profile for patients.

Objective: To illustrate the mechanism of action, present stimulation options and areas of application and explore future perspectives.

Material and methods: Description and discussion of current options and systems for PNS based on the literature.

Results: The PNS is a targeted and straightforward method for treating certain pain syndromes. New stimulation parameters and modalities as well as the use of newly developed wireless systems or specially designed devices with very small pulse generators offer new possibilities in this area.

Conclusion: Direct stimulation of the affected nerve can provide an individually tailored solution for patients. New systems and stimulation modalities constitute a milestone in this subfield of neuromodulation. Overcoming the limitations of older technologies leads to improved patient safety and comfort. As such, PNS can become an important cornerstone in the treatment of chronic pain.

期刊介绍： Der Schmerz is an internationally recognized journal and addresses all scientists, practitioners and psychologists, dealing with the treatment of pain patients or working in pain research. The aim of the journal is to enhance the treatment of pain patients in the long run. Review articles provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of pain research, pain management and pain symptom management. Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve the scientific exchange. Case reports feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Review articles under the rubric ''Continuing Medical Education'' present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice.
