What is post-surgical pain?

Post-surgical pain is a common and expected experience for patients following any surgical procedure. This discomfort can range from mild to severe and is often a natural part of the healing process. However, when pain persists beyond the typical recovery period, it can evolve into chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP), affecting approximately 10-50% of individuals after common operations. Effective management of this pain is crucial, not only for patient comfort but also for facilitating recovery and preventing long-term complications.

What is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)?

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) has emerged as a promising solution for patients grappling with post-surgical pain. PNS involves the delivery of electrical impulses to the peripheral nerves, which can modulate pain signals before they reach the brain, providing significant relief. The Freedom® Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) System by Curonix is a leading example of this technology, offering a minimally invasive option for chronic pain management.

Statistics reveal that patients using the Freedom PNS System have reported a 70% improvement in pain and a 47% reduction in medication usage at 24 months post-implant. For those suffering from foot and ankle pain, a 65% reduction in pain scores was observed at 12 months post-implant. These figures underscore the potential of PNS to transform the lives of individuals dealing with persistent post-surgical pain.
