A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) is a wireless, non-invasive pain relief option for people with chronic pain. The device sends electrical currents to block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief from a variety of conditions, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Arm pain
- Leg pain
- Sciatica
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators are FDA-approved and have been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life. The procedure to implant the device is minimally invasive and can be performed in an outpatient setting. The device is then powered by a small wearable antenna, so there is no need for an implanted battery.
If you are interested in learning more about PNS, please contact our pain doctors in Austin today. We would be happy to discuss your individual pain management needs and see if this treatment is right for you.
