Abstract
#Peripheral Nerve Stimulation [PNS] is an accepted method of
#neuromodulation in the management of chronic refractory pain, although
there
is no specialized equipment available today to be accommodated in the
peripheral nerve space. PNS employs the standard spinal cord stimulation
[SCS] device that comes with bulky and #cumbersome components responsible
for several adverse events as well as failures. We describe two chronic
debilitating afflictions of peripheral nerves viz. #Meralgia Paresthetica
[MP] of the lower extremity and complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS]
of
the upper extremity, treated by wireless peripheral nerve stimulation
[WPNS] that requires implantation of a single device, notably without an
#implantable pulse generator [IPG] or its accessories.WPNS is a single implantable neural stimulator that encases a stimulating electrode [with 4 or 8 contacts], a #microprocessor
and antenna to communicate with pulse generator by wireless access.
