Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is rapidly expanding area of neuromodulation with multiple new indications for chronic pain treatment and function improvement. Since the first percutaneous lead insertion in 1999, the proliferation of nonsurgical techniques with increasingly diverse stimulating targets has resulted that PNS is now a firmly established part of neuromodulation where the majority of new exciting developments are taking place. Non Invasive Peripheral External Stimulation plays an important part in the progress. It can offer a frequently less expensive alternative to the implantable techniques and it can be used outside specialised centers. Technological advances are allowing safer and more efficient uses of PNS with improved outcomes. |
