    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pain Management
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Chronic pain resulting from traumatic peripheral neuropathy presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Current analgesic treatments may have limited efficacy or side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of implanted nerve stimulation for chronic pain in patients with traumatic peripheral neuropathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Nineteen patients with chronic pain underwent implanted nerve stimulation.
    • The study involved a follow-up period averaging 11.5 months.

    Main Results:

    • Complete pain relief was achieved in 11 patients (58%).
    • Four patients (21%) experienced sufficient pain reduction to discontinue analgesics.
