Synopsis

A practical, target-by-target guide to peripheral nerve stimulation for clinicians who place, program, and follow up peripheral neuromodulation systems.
Peripheral nerve stimulation has moved from the operating room into the ultrasound-guided procedure suite. This manual brings the whole pathway into one reference: how stimulation works, what the hardware does, who is a good candidate, how to place a lead safely at each major target, how to program it, and what to do when something goes wrong.
What's inside
• Foundations: mechanisms of action, fibre recruitment, charge and pulse parameters, and the three main system designs, including MRI safety
• Patient selection: diagnostic blocks, psychological assessment, goal-setting, and choosing between a trial, a time-limited treatment course, and a permanent implant
• Safety: infection prevention, anticoagulation planning, sedation, and local anaesthetic dosing
• Technique by target: occipital and craniofacial nerves, suprascapular and axillary nerves, upper limb nerves, lumbar medial branch and restorative stimulation, intercostal and groin nerves, femoral, genicular, sciatic, and distal lower limb nerves
• Special applications: peripheral nerve field stimulation, post-amputation pain, CRPS, and postoperative pain
• Programming and troubleshooting: contact mapping, therapeutic window, scheduling, migration, fracture, infection, and lead removal
• Evidence and practice: honest grading of the evidence for each indication, outcome measures, documentation, reimbursement, and building a service
Built for learning and quick reference
• 15 chapters with learning objectives, procedure step boxes, clinical pearls, pitfalls, and safety alerts
• Realistic clinical vignettes worked through to a decision
• Step-by-step worked calculations for charge, battery use, needle trajectory, drug half-life, and local anaesthetic dose
• 150 self-assessment questions with explained answers
• 31 original schematic figures and quick-reference tables for every target
Written for pain medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, physiatrists, neurosurgeons, fellows, residents, and advanced practice providers. Device brand names are avoided so the principles apply across systems.
This book is an educational reference for licensed clinicians. It does not replace clinical judgment, device labeling, or current professional-society guidance.
