Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) offers a minimally invasive treatment for meralgia paresthetica. A case study showed a patient achieved over 12 months of complete pain relief with a PNS device, avoiding surgery.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pain Management
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Meralgia paresthetica, caused by lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment, results in thigh paresthesia.
- Advancements in neuromodulation introduce peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) as a potential treatment.
- Newer PNS technology offers a minimally invasive approach to directly target peripheral nerves.
