Subjects:
The peri-auricular percutaneous implantation of the Neuro-Stim System (NSS©) family of devices EAD©
MFS©
BRIDGE© (Innovative Health Solutions
Versailles IN) is a non-opiate
neuromodulation analgesic used for acute and chronic pain conditions. It is cleared as a minimal risk procedure by multiple governmental and institutional facilities. This retrospective report of findings will help quantify the incidence of clinically observed bleeding
localized dermatitis and infections at the implantation sites of the electrode/needle arrays
dermatitis at the site of the generator
and patient syncope. A total of 1
207 devices
each producing up to 16 percutaneous punctures
for a total of 19
312 punctures were monitored for adverse effects
based on retrospective chart audits conducted at 6 clinical facilities over a one-year period.
