Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment with Ministim Micro-Technology
Peripheral neuropathy is a painful condition caused by damage to the peripheral nerves, often experienced in the feet and ankles. Symptoms may include burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp shooting pain that disrupts daily life. For patients who have not found relief with traditional treatments, advanced neurostimulation offers a powerful alternative. The Ministim percutaneous Implantable Pulse Generator (pIPG) is an innovative, minimally invasive device designed to provide targeted pain control by disrupting abnormal pain signals at the nerve level.
The Ministim device represents the next generation of peripheral nerve stimulation, or PNS technology, delivering up to four times the power output of standard systems, with an impressive capacity of up to 24 mA. Despite this power, the device is micro-sized, which is 10 times smaller than existing battery systems, allowing for placement through a 3mm incision completed under local anesthesia. This means there is no need for operating room surgery or general anesthesia, and recovery is virtually immediate. Patients can often begin using the device within minutes of implantation without downtime.
Controlled by a pre-programmed wireless transmitter, the Ministim functions as easily as a TV remote. This simplicity allows patients to make adjustments as needed without interrupting daily activities. Its small size and minimal incision site ensure a discreet and comfortable experience, while the system’s longevity provides reliable support for over 10 years.
For podiatry patients living with peripheral neuropathy, the benefits are life-changing. This therapy reduces chronic nerve pain in the feet and ankles, restoring mobility and improving quality of life. The device’s state-of-the-art remote patient support ensures help is always available at the press of a button, giving patients confidence and reassurance as they regain control over their pain.
