SPR SPRINT - Model PNS -Peripheral Nerve Stimulation System
Pain shouldn’t keep you from living the life you want. The SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is a short-term, 60-day treatment designed to deliver lasting pain relief. No surgery. No medications. No permanent implants. Just the chance to feel more like yourself again and get back to the life you love. 60-day treatment, Drug-free, Surgery-free, Incision-free, No permanent implant.
Pain relief backed by extensive clinical research
Over 70% of patients in clinical studies reported significant and long-term relief of pain and/or interference of pain with daily activities following treatment.
Additionally, multiple clinical trials demonstrate that the SPRINT PNS System provides sustained pain relief for at least 12 months following the 60-day treatment in the majority of study participants. Extensive research means the SPRINT PNS System is more than just another option – it’s a well-studied, clinically proven pain management solution, allowing you to have confidence in your treatment decision.
The primary parts of the SPRINT PNS System include a Pulse Generator, Hand-Held Remote and MicroLead™.
Pulse Generator
The Pulse Generator is a matchbox-sized, battery-powered wearable stimulator that sends gentle electrical pulses through the MicroLead to your nerve.
Hand-Held Remote
A small wireless Hand-Held Remote allows you to turn the stimulation on and off, and to adjust its intensity.
MicroLead
The MicroLead is a thin, flexible threadlike wire, approximately twice the size of a human hair, that is placed under your skin to deliver the stimulation treatment to the nerve that is causing pain.
How does SPRINT PNS provide pain relief?
During the 60-day treatment period, the SPRINT PNS System sends tiny electrical pulses through the MicroLead placed near the target nerve. This stimulation is believed to interrupt the pain signals, boost the healthy non-pain signals, and help rebalance the information the brain receives.
Over time, stimulation of a peripheral nerve with SPRINT PNS is believed to actually change how your brain may perceive and respond to pain. This change can provide pain relief which may lead to an improved quality of life.
Before treatment
Pain is felt when a nerve sends pain signals to your brain.
During treatment
Tiny electrical pulses are sent through the MicroLead to your nerve. These pulses are believed to help rebalance the types of signals your nerve(s) send to your brain – outweighing pain signals with non-pain signals. These pulses are sometimes felt as comfortable, non-painful sensations, such as mild tingling, pulsing, vibration, or pressure, in or around the area of pain.
Following treatment
Following the 60-day treatment with SPRINT PNS, it is believed that the brain no longer responds to pain signals in the same way. SPRINT PNS is believed to interrupt the pain signals, boost the healthy non-pain signals, and help rebalance the information the brain receives.
