A Case Report of Three Patients Who Underwent Temporary Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Knee Pain Secondary to Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis affects millions of people worldwide. There remains a role for novel therapies to manage pain for patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo knee arthroplasty. A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) may be beneficial in this population. We present a case report of three patient...

description Knee osteoarthritis affects millions of people worldwide. There remains a role for novel therapies to manage pain for patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo knee arthroplasty. A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) may be beneficial in this population. We present a case report of three patients who received temporary femoral or saphenous PNS and were either unwilling or unable to undergo knee arthroplasty. Two of the three patients reported significantly reduced pain and improved functioning. Our case report demonstrates that temporary PNS may offer a safe and effective treatment for chronic knee pain secondary to knee osteoarthritis.
