Percutaneous analgesic device enabling both local anesthetic delivery and electrical stimulation (neuromodulation) of peripheral nerves: a pilot feasibility study (case series)
This novel device successfully delivered a single-injection local anesthetic bolus, a continuous perineural infusion, and concurrent/subsequent electrical current. A randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial appears warranted. CLINICALTRIALSGOV : NCT06818708.
