Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Definition

Abstract: Recently, there has been a tremendous evolution in the field of neurostimulation, both from the technological point of view and from development of the new and different indications. In some areas, such as peripheral nerve stimulation, there has been a boom in recent years due to the variations in the surgical technique and the improved results documented by in multiple published papers. All this makes imperative the need to classify and define the different types of stimulation that are used today. The confus… Show more

“…The additional concern is the lack of basic research on peripheral or subcutaneous stimulation. This is a controversial technique as the terminology/monikers peripheral nerve stimulation versus subcutaneous field stimulation brings discussion as noted by Dr. Abejon and Krames in a previous editorial in Neuromodulation (3, 4). In this editorial, peripheral subcutaneous field stimulation (PSFS) is that which “produce(s) a field paresthesia within the peripheral distribution of pain by creating an electrical field around the activated bipoles”.…”

“… 343 , 344 Rather than providing electrical stimulation to a specific sensory nerve, which is the goal of PNS, PNFS targets more distal and smaller sensory branches as well as subcutaneous nerve endings. 345 …”

“…PNS is the application of an electric field to a nerve or group of nerves including and/or distal to the dorsal root or trigeminal ganglion (Abejon & Perez-Cajaraville, 2011). Known as the gate control theory, peripheral nerve fibers, including A-alpha, A-beta, A-gamma, Adelta, various B and C fibers, are modulated when an electric field is applied (Melzack & Wall, 1965).…”
