Living with chronic pain can be exhausting—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether the discomfort stems from your shoulder, knee, lower back, or foot, it can disrupt your routine, limit your mobility, and rob you of restful sleep. But there’s hope. Thanks to cutting-edge advancements like Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS), lasting relief is within reach. One such breakthrough solution is the Nalu PNS System, a minimally invasive and highly customizable treatment option designed to help you reclaim your life.
What is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)?
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation is a proven technique that targets specific nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. By intercepting these signals before they reach the brain, PNS can significantly reduce chronic pain without relying on medications or invasive surgeries.
How the Nalu PNS System Works
The Nalu PNS System offers an advanced and patient-friendly way to manage chronic pain. At its core is a micro-IPG (implantable pulse generator), one of the smallest devices of its kind, connected to thin leads placed near the affected nerves. Here’s a closer look at how it works:
- Lead Placement: Small, flexible wires are implanted under the skin, positioned precisely near the nerves responsible for pain.
- Micro-IPG Implantation: These leads connect to a tiny micro-IPG implanted just beneath the skin.
- Electrical Stimulation: The micro-IPG delivers mild electrical pulses that interrupt pain signals before they can reach your brain.
The system is powered by an external Therapy Disc, worn comfortably over the micro-IPG. This external component eliminates the need for battery replacement surgeries, offering convenience and longevity.
Key Benefits of the Nalu PNS System
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: With its micro-sized implant, Nalu’s system requires only a minor procedure, leading to quicker recovery and less discomfort.
- Personalized Control: Manage your therapy effortlessly through the Nalu App or directly via the Therapy Disc. You can turn stimulation on or off based on your needs, and remove the external disc when it’s not required.
- Long-Term Pain Relief: FDA-cleared and designed to last up to 18 years, the Nalu PNS System offers sustainable, long-term relief from chronic pain.
- Trial Before Commitment: Try the system on a temporary basis to assess its effectiveness—an opportunity to experience pain relief before proceeding with full implantation.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your healthcare provider will guide you through every step of the Nalu PNS process:
- Explain the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks.
- Use ultrasound imaging to place the leads with precision.
- Administer local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
- Conduct real-time testing to confirm pain relief during the procedure.
- Apply waterproof bandages and provide aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
