To trial or not to trial before peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic pain: a retrospective multicenter comparative analysis of temporary-to-permanent and direct-to-permanent implantation approaches
Although temporary PNS is widely performed prior to permanent PNS implantation, there was no evidence that the TTP approach is associated with superior analgesic outcomes compared with the DTP approach. Further, patients in both approaches achieved clinically meaningful pain relief at 6 months compared with baseline status prior to PNS therapy.
