long-term clinical outcome of peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic headache and complication prevention
conclusions our results support the use of pns in some patients with refractory chronic headaches. appropriate surgical planning and technique are important to achieve good clinical outcome and to minimize complications. background subcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (pns) has emerged as a useful tool in the treatment of intractable headaches. however, complications such as skin erosion, ...
متن کاملPerspective: Peripheral nerve stimulation and peripheral nerve field stimulation birds of a different feather.
SCS has positively impacted the life and function of thousands. In contrast, stimulation of the peripheral nervous system, also FDA-approved for limited use, is employed to treat neuropathic pain arising from peripheral nerve dysfunction. Two, distinct therapies exist: 1) Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) therapy, which provides stimulus to a named nerve that innervates an area and 2) Peripher...
متن کاملDefinition of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
that is rapidly gaining popularity for a variety of clinical conditions. Despite its straightforward nature, the modality has been for a long time treated as a ‘stepchild’ of the neuromodulation field, yielding the spotlight to the more ubiquitous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and the more elegant deep brain stimulation (DBS) approaches. Interestingly enough, the main theoretical explanation of...
متن کاملA comparative study on soleus H reflex parameters using vertebral column and peripheral nerve stimulation
Although low-threshold transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a modality used for control of pain, but its effect in the control of spasticity and change of excitability of a motor neuron is controversial. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 15-min tripolar TENS of vertebral column and bipolar TENS of common peroneal nerve (300 µs width, 50 Hz) on synap...
متن کاملLong-Term Clinical Outcome of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Chronic Headache and Complication Prevention
BACKGROUND Subcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has emerged as a useful tool in the treatment of intractable headaches. However, complications such as skin erosion, infection and lead migration have adversely affected clinical outcome, and occasionally led to treatment cessation. OBJECTIVES Here we report the results of peripheral nerve stimulator implantation performed on 24 patie...
