“…Percutaneous PNS devices are one example of how recent developments in electrical neuromodulation technologies have paved the way for less invasive procedures. With ultrasound guidance, the fine-wire coiled leads may be placed far from the sciatic and femoral nerves, increasing the likelihood of successful targeted intervention in PLP (5). The treatment of pain following amputation is entering a new era because of technological and neurology developments, providing amputees with real hope and practical answers to the complex problem of Phantom Limb Pain.…”

A new percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) device is described in this paper as a potential treatment for amputation-related neuropathic pain and functional impairment in military service members and veterans. Recent advances have made it feasible to inject thin wire-coiled PNS leads percutaneously under ultrasound guidance, allowing doctors to get around the problems and invasiveness of traditional PNS systems. Avoiding the femoral and sciatic nerves may minimize the hazards associated with these leads. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is experienced by an estimated 40% - 80% of amputees. This article provides a concise summary of current studies that examine the impact of PNS technological advancements on neuromodulation. This research aimed to provide healthcare providers with up-to-date, evidence-based suggestions for alleviating post-amputation discomfort.
