Background: Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a neuromodulation technique in which electrical current is applied to the peripheral nerves to ameliorate chronic pain through preferential activation of myelinated fibres, inducing long-term depression of synaptic efficacy. External noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (EN-PNS) is a novel and simple form of PNS that involves stimulation via an external nerve-mapping probe that is placed on the skin and connected to a power source.
Objectives: We aimed to assess the clinical utility of EN-PNS in patients with refractory neuropathic pains referred to a tertiary pain treatment center.
