Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS): A Therapy for People with Chronic Low Back Pain (LBP)
(IRB#: IRB_00132843)
Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a major health concern for many people. Many current therapies to help LBP do not work well. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been shown to relieve LBP and improve quality of life. Research is needed to learn the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous PNS. The information we learn may aid future patients.
