SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

The SPRINT® Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is an innovative, FDA-cleared treatment that offers relief for individuals suffering from chronic and acute pain. Using a minimally invasive approach, SPRINT PNS targets peripheral nerves with mild electrical pulses, stimulating the nervous system to reduce pain effectively without the need for permanent implants or invasive surgery.

How SPRINT PNS Works

SPRINT PNS involves placing a small, flexible lead near the affected peripheral nerve. This lead delivers mild electrical pulses to modulate pain signals, providing relief from pain without the need for medication. The lead remains in place for up to 60 days, allowing patients to experience relief during and often even after the treatment period.

Conditions Treated by SPRINT PNS

SPRINT PNS is designed to help individuals with a range of pain conditions, including:
  • Post-surgical pain (such as knee, shoulder, or joint pain)
  • Chronic low back pain
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Joint and musculoskeletal pain
  • Pain related to nerve damage or neuropathy

Is SPRINT PNS Right for You?

SPRINT PNS may be ideal for patients seeking non-opioid, minimally invasive alternatives for pain relief. It is often recommended for patients who haven’t found adequate relief through traditional therapies, physical therapy, or medication. Relievus physicians will work with you to determine if SPRINT PNS is a suitable treatment based on your pain condition and individual health needs.

Benefits of SPRINT PNS

Patients who receive SPRINT PNS frequently report significant reductions in pain, leading to improved mobility, greater comfort, and a higher quality of life. The temporary nature of the treatment means that patients can experience relief without a permanent implant, and many enjoy long-lasting results even after the lead is removed.
