Abstract：
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a powerful interventional option for the management of otherwise intractable pain. This technique involves the implantation of electrodes to apply electrical stimulation to named peripheral nerves, thereby alleviating pain in the territory of the target nerves. Recent advancements, largely driven by physician-industry relationships, have transformed the therapy into one that is minimally invasive, safe, evidence-based, and effective. Ongoing research has expanded the indications beyond chronic neuropathic pain in a peripheral nerve distribution. This article provides an overview of recent advances in this field.
摘要：
周围神经刺激（PNS）是治疗其他顽固性疼痛的有力干预选择。这项技术涉及植入电极，对命名的周围神经施加电刺激，从而减轻目标神经区域的疼痛。最近的进步，很大程度上是由医生与行业的关系驱动的，将这种疗法转变为微创疗法，安全,以证据为基础,而且有效。正在进行的研究已将适应症扩展到周围神经分布中的慢性神经性疼痛之外。本文概述了该领域的最新进展。
