Article Synopsis
- Researchers conducted a pilot study to assess the feasibility and effects of percutaneous nerve stimulation (P(E)NS) on patients with chronic neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injuries, as current treatment options are often ineffective.
- Out of 26 patients screened, 17 participated, with a high questionnaire return rate of 91.2%, and only two patients dropped out; the procedures had minimal side effects reported.
- Results showed a significant decrease in pain levels, with many participants reporting at least a 30% reduction in pain immediately after treatment, indicating that P(E)NS could be a promising option for pain management in this population.
