A single-center retrospective chart review of percutaneous PNS for treatment of chronic shoulder pain.

Objective: The present IRB-approved retrospective chart review describes the use of a 60-day PNS treatment for shoulder pain at a single center in 60 total consecutive patients.

Background: Chronic shoulder pain affects an increasing number of patients per year and is especially prevalent in elderly populations. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) treatment targeting the nerves of the shoulder has been shown to reduce pain in prospective clinical studies and in analysis of real-world data.

Sustained Relief of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Pain Following a 60-Day Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Report of Three Cases.

Patients who present to pain clinics with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) typically have debilitating pain, including hyperalgesia and allodynia, and additional substantial quality-of-life concerns related to the motor and autonomic-related symptoms of CRPS. Present treatments for CRPS such as neuropathic pain medications and sympathetic blocks are often unsatisfactory for managing symptoms. The present cases highlight the use of a 60-day percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) treatment for three patients with CRPS Type I affecting the foot.
