Results for tag: "Peripheral Nerve Stimulators"

In the context of neurology devices, peripheral nerve stimulators are medical devices designed to alleviate pain by using electrical pulses to stimulate peripheral nerves. These devices function on the basis of neurostimulation, aiming to modify pain signal transmission to the brain, thus offering relief to the patient. Peripheral nerve stimulators can be used for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain syndromes, migraines, and other neuropathic pain disorders. They are part of a broader category of neuromodulation devices, which also includes spinal cord stimulators and deep brain stimulation devices. Peripheral nerve stimulators typically encompass a range of products from implantable to wearable technologies. Implantable devices are surgically placed under the skin to provide continuous nerve stimulation, whereas wearable technology can be used externally and is often adjustable according to the patient's needs. Advances in technology and an increasing demand for minimally invasive pain management solutions have driven development within this market. Companies in the peripheral nerve stimulator market include Boston Scientific Corporation, Nevro Corp., Stimwave LLC, Bioness Inc., and Nuvectra. These companies are involved in the production and development of devices for pain management and play an active role in the research and innovation aimed at improving efficacy and patient outcomes in neurostimulation therapy.
