| Abstract: |
Peripheral nerve stimulation is an established treatment modality for chronic neuropathic pain. Over the last decade, with the advent of innovative devices and delivery platforms, peripheral nerve stimulation has evolved from invasive open surgeries to image-guided, minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. The authors hereby present a novel device, the NaluTM Neurostimulation System (Nalu Medical, CA, USA), which has established its advantages in providing predictable and reliable peripheral nerve stimulation therapy for chronic neuropathic pain management. This novel device is effective in treating chronic pain conditions such as post-herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, intercostal neuralgia, post-laminectomy syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome and holds great promise for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain. Chronic nerve pain is a debilitating condition that can affect quality of life and functioning. The NaluTM Neurostimulation System (Nalu Medical, CA, USA) provides long-term pain relief without medications. There are numerous devices currently available that can be utilized to block pain signals using small wires. This system is unique because the wires placed over affected nerves are powered by an external battery that does not require permanent surgical implantation. Pain after hernia surgery, back surgery, hip surgery and knee surgery, as well as nerve pain can be effectively managed by this system. |
