Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) For Chronic Knee Pain

• Chronic knee pain has seen a significant rise over the past two decades, leading to increased functional limitations, mobility challenges, and decreased quality of life.
• PNS is an alternative management approach for chronic knee pain across various conditions.
• PNS involves implanting an electrode near a targeted nerve to deliver electrical stimulation, which interrupts pain signals, providing pain relief.

The process starts with a discussion with a pain specialist to see if you are a candidate for the system or not. You then complete psychological evaluation to rule out any contraindication before moving forward with a 7-day Trial (Typically done in the office).

If you report more than 50% pain reduction with improved sleep and function during the trial, you are a candidate for permeant implant for prolonged pain relief.
