Peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) is a form of neuromodulation in which one or more leads are placed in the subcutaneous tissues, adjacent to areas of chronic pain, in order to provide relief through the stimulation of small peripheral nerves. Leads are then connected to a temporary external pulse generator (PG) during trials, or to an implanted PG for permanent placement.
