A Comparison of the four
Peripheral Nerve Stimulators PNS

StimrRouter, Nalu, Curonix, Sprint

We've worked from a chart created by Vinita Singh, MD, MS: A Comparison of Various Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Available Currently on the Market. It was published on Nov 1, 2022. At that time StimQ still existed. It has been replaced by the Stimwave Freedom (Curonix). We've made updates and will continue to do so.

Refresher: Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) placing a thin lead under the skin directly next to the nerve causing chronic pain. All batteries for PNS are external.

Reposting a few photos to remind everyone of what each PNS components look like and how the external device would roughly fit. Woman in photo 5'3". PNS are listed in the order Dr, Vinita Singh put the in her table.

A, StimRouter Bioness - Permanent - Adhesive - No Trial Period. Hope to change.
