Abstract

The StimRouter® peripheral nerve stimulation system created by Bioness, Inc., (CA, USA) is USFDA-approved for the treatment of peripheral mononeuropathy refractory to conservative medical management. StimRouteris a minimally invasive system that utilizes a subcutaneously implanted lead with integrated anchor and electrodes, and an external pulse generator to produce peripheral neuromodulation and achieve pain relief. Multiple published clinical trials reviewed here have shown the StimRoutersystem to have a high margin of safety, differentiating it from other existing peripheral neuromodulation systems requiring open surgical electrode placement and implantable pulse generators. These studies have also shown the StimRoutersystem to be efficacious in the treatment of multiple peripheral mononeuropathies; improving patient pain, activity levels and quality of life. StimRouterrepresents a feasible option for management of chronic peripheral mononeuropathy.
