Objective: To evaluate 31 patients suffering from drug resistant neuropathic pain due to only one peripheral nerve damage and treated by new dedicated device for peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). Materials and Methods: The evaluation was on pain using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and on mental status component (MSC) using the SF-36 at baseline and at median follow-up (18 months) after implant. Results: The NRS baseline score was 8.9 ± 1.1 and at last follow-up 3.6 ± 2.2 with an improvement of the 59.7% (p < 0.001); the MSC of the SF-36 started fron a baseline score of 36.4 ± 11.5 to a follow-up score of 45 ± 9.6 (p < 0.05) with improvement of the 23.8%. Conclusions: This new device has been able to improve statistically the NRS and the MCS of the SF-36 scores with a clinical reduction of the pain and an increase of the mental status.
