Percutaneous stimulation
An effective option for chronic pain management.
Living with constant pain.
Chronic pain is a condition that goes beyond mere physical symptoms: it is a persistent and often invisible experience that can profoundly affect every aspect of daily life.
Percutaneous stimulation.
Percutaneous stimulation (Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation - PENS) is a neuro-modulation technique that uses electrical pulses, which are transmitted via electrodes inserted just below the surface of the skin near the specific nerve, or nerve endings located in the area to be treated.
This technology acts directly on the nerve fibres involved in pain transmission, modulating their signals and promoting pain relief.
It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that does not require hospitalisation or general anaesthesia and allows the patient to return quickly to their daily activities.
The advantages of percutaneous stimulation.
1
Customised and targeted relief: stimulation can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of each patient.
2
Minimum invasiveness: quick procedure with low risk of complications.
3
Reduced drug use: limits the need for analgesics, resulting in fewer side effects.
4
Improved quality of life: allows patients to perform daily and work-related activities with less pain and in greater comfort.
Who is this type of treatment suitable for?
This technology is suitable for treating various forms of chronic pain, such as:
- Peripheral nerve pain
- Chronic musculo-skeletal pain
- Post-traumatic and post-operative pain
- Pain syndromes that are resistant to conventional treatment
Consult a pain management specialist. Every therapeutic choice must always be discussed with your specialist to carefully evaluate benefits, potential risks, and the most suitable path for your individual needs.
