Longitudinal outcomes following temporary 60-day percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic pain: a retrospective analysis

Listen to this summary

This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of temporary 60-day percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for chronic pain in 125 patients. The primary outcome showed that only 24% of patients experienced a clinically meaningful pain reduction of ≥30%, with lower responder rates observed under more stringent criteria. The study highlights the need for further investigation into factors such as lead migration and mental health comorbidities that may influence treatment outcomes.
