statement on peripheral nerve stimulation
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is considered medically necessary in the treatment of chronic pain when the patient continues to experience moderate to severe pain after failing two prior conservative treatments and when:
Pain requires opioid use beyond 30 days, or;
Pain has not resolved within the normal time course of healing, as discerned by the physician or;
Pain continues or is expected to continue for longer than 3 months from its initial onset.
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
