Sprint® PNS System
Renew Pain Solutions Treats their First Patient Innovative Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Device to Reduce Chronic Pain
Overview of the SPRINT® PNS System
The SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is a non-surgical drug-free neurostimulation treatment that may offer pain relief to people who have been suffering with chronic pain in their back, shoulders, knees, head/neck or are experiencing other nerve-related pain. This breakthrough treatment targets select nerves which may reduce the pain you have lived with for far too long.
A short-term treatment of only 60 days designed to provide long-term relief, the SPRINT System is an innovative option to treat your chronic pain, potentially avoiding the need for opioids, other pain medications or a permanent implant.
How does the SPRINT® PNS System Work?
With the SPRINT System, a tiny threadlike wire called a MicroLead™ about the size of two human hairs, is placed under your skin to deliver stimulation near a nerve that is causing pain. A small wearable device sends gentle electrical pulses through the MicroLead to the nerve. A simple hand-held remote allows you to control the simulation level to find a setting that works best for you. After 60 days, the MicroLead is removed, and treatment is complete. While results may vary, a majority of patients in clinical studies have seen significant and sustained relief of pain and/or interference of pain with their daily activities following the treatment.
