StimRouter - Targeted Pain Relief System for Better Patient Outcomes
Relief from chronic peripheral nerve pain is possible without drugs or invasive surgery when using a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) such as StimRouter. The StimRouter targets pain at its source and its small profile allows the system to be implanted in many locations around the body, depending on patient needs.
An estimated 20% of US adults suffer from chronic pain and according to a report on chronic pain from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 8% have high-impact chronic pain that limits life or work activities on a nearly daily basis.
The process of chronic pain management is long and convoluted, including behavioral, pharmacologic, injections, and surgical options. Unfortunately, behavioral therapies rarely provide sufficient relief and opioids, which can be more effective, are highly addictive.

Patients prefer StimRouter PNS
What do patients say about their StimRouter implants? According to a recent survey of 133 StimRouter patients representing experience with 17 different peripheral nerves:
- 88% of patients continue to actively use StimRouter to treat their chronic pain after one year.
- 76% are satisfied with their device, and almost 40% extremely satisfied
- A majority of patients report at least a 50% increase in activity level after their StimRouter
