Real-World Retrospective Review of Axial Neck Pain Relief Following Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of Cervical Medial Branch Nerves
CLEVELAND, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPR Therapeutics shared data on the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) to deliver pain relief for patients suffering from axial neck pain at the Pacific Spine Pain Society annual meeting in Las Vegas. This anonymized real-world data from patients who underwent commercial placement of the SPRINT® PNS System provides an important and insightful look at how PNS performs across a wider range of patients than might enroll in a controlled trial. This non-destructive treatment was delivered to efferent fibers in the cervical medial branch nerves. Based on the retrospective analysis, 83 percent of patients were responders, defined as at least a 50% reduction in pain and/or a clinically significant improvement in quality of life.
- CLEVELAND, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPR Therapeutics shared data on the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) to deliver pain relief for patients suffering from axial neck pain at the Pacific Spine Pain Society annual meeting in Las Vegas.
- This non-destructive treatment was delivered to efferent fibers in the cervical medial branch nerves.
- Sixty-day percutaneous PNS has emerged as a potential, non-destructive treatment that can be used for axial neck pain by targeting efferent fibers in the cervical medial branch nerves to produce comfortable cycling tension in core cervical musculature (e.g., multifidus).
- The SPRINT PNS System is indicated for up to 60 days for: Symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain; symptomatic relief of post-traumatic pain; symptomatic relief of post-operative pain.
