Non-Invasive, Non-Opiate Pain Management
If you treat chronic and acute pain patients, this FDA-approved, battery-powered device that you install behind a patient's ear might be worth a try. Controlled by a microchip and weighing only 7 grams, Pulse Stimulation Treatment (PSTIM) safely and discreetly delivers continuous pain relief to patients, says the company. Once installed, PSTIM provides a steady current of low-frequency electrical impulses to specific, targeted nerve endings located in the outer ear to relieve specific types of pain. In clinical studies, PSTIM has proven effective in alleviating head, neck, back and joint pain, the company claims. Patients can use the device while taking pain medications, but patients generally reduce or discontinue pain meds after their pain has been mitigated and reduced, says the company. Bill using CPT 64555 (implant neuroelectrodes).
