Description
Patient Selection:
- The patients whom you select for the procedure should present with conditions / diagnoses that are compatible from a continuum of care standpoint; the goal is to assess the patient’s suitability for the therapeutic usefulness of ongoing treatment via a permanent stimulator
- It is important that the physician’s documentation entails all prior conventional & conservative interventions.
- TENS, P.T., and medications (e.g., NSAIDS, Narcotics, and Opioids) are all examples of interventions that would be expected to have been tried and failed prior to proceeding with the use of PENS for the treatment of chronic pain.
Treatment:
- 6-8 treatments within 30 days (2 x wk x 3-4 wks)
- 30 minutes per treatment
- After completing 6-8 treatments the patient’s VAS score should be documented
