摘要
One of the less common areas of neuromodulation, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is probably its fastest growing direction, at least in the field of pain treatment. The approach, which is still considered novel and experimental by many, is in fact neither—PNS was introduced before much more accepted modality of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and there are devices on the market today that are fully approved for PNS applications. Today, PNS is used for variety of painful conditions in almost every part of the human body. Interestingly enough, the rapid growth in the number of reports and studies on PNS occurred despite the relative paucity of dedicated and approved devices, and until recently, almost every case PNS was performed using hardware designed for SCS applications. The tide has changed, however, and with several fully approved PNS devices available for clinical use in the United States and worldwide, one may expect that practical use of PNS will be supported by proper evidence.
