Durable Shoulder Pain Relief and Avoidance of Surgery Up To 5 Years Following 60-Day PNS Treatment
This real-world evidence demonstrates that a large majority of responders to 60-day PNS may experience durable shoulder pain relief and other improvements, with benefits demonstrated up to 5 years post treatment. The low rate of progression to subsequent interventions including surgery suggests potential for healthcare economic benefit, supporting 60-day PNS as both a clinically effective and potentially economically advantageous approach for appropriate patients.
