Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Dear Colleagues,

Peripheral nerve stimulation is one of the fastest-growing procedures. We have witnessed the development of new peripheral nerve stimulator devices and technologies, including battery operated, wireless, permanent and temporary devices. In addition, lead design and wave forms are different in contrasting devices.

Placement of leads close to peripheral nerves require good knowledge of the anatomy of the different nerves, in addition to good experience with localizing them by using the appropriate imaging technique.

In this Special Issue, we will be discussing the most up to date knowledge about peripheral nerve stimulation. Topics include but are not limited to:

Anatomy of the peripheral nervous system;

Mechanism of action of peripheral nerve stimulation;

Peripheral nerve stimulation for headache;

Peripheral nerve stimulation of the upper extremity;

Peripheral nerve stimulation for truncal pain;

Peripheral nerve stimulation of the lower extremities;

Peripheral nerve stimulation for neuroaxial pain/medial branches.
