Effective pain management is integral for improving quality of life. Chronic pain that is left untreated can lead to several health issues and functional limitations. Technological innovations are addressing this growing need and providing new options for pain relief. This explores some of the latest pain management devices that are helping people better cope with different types of chronic pain.

Neuro-stimulation Devices

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices are types of neurostimulation therapies that fall under the category of Pain Management Devices. SCS systems deliver mild electric pulses to the spinal cord through electrodes placed near the spinal cord. This masks pain sensations and can significantly reduce chronic back and leg pain. PNS devices target specific nerves in areas like the knee, arm or back to disrupt pain signaling from those regions. Both SCS and PNS technologies have rechargeable implantable pulse generators that can be programmed externally by a clinician using a wearable or handheld wireless device. Advanced neurostimulation systems now have motion sensors for increased accuracy and longevity. Studies show neurostimulation can effectively manage various neuropathic pain conditions.
