Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PPNS) for Post-Surgical Pain After Shoulder Surgery

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Shoulder Surgery

In brief

Despite the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols incorporating multimodal analgesia and regional anesthesia, postoperative pain following shoulder surgery remains inadequately controlled. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PPNS) represents a potential alternative strategy for postoperative pain management. This prospective randomized study aims to assess the efficacy of PPNS for postoperative pain control following shoulder surgery.
