Abstract: Peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP) patients exhibit complex and diverse symptoms, often accompanied by abnormal pain and hyperalgesia, which seriously affect their quality of life. Currently, pharmacological treatments for PNP have limited effectiveness and are prone to side effects, making them inadequate for long-term patient needs. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) can relieve pain by precisely stimulating specific peripheral nerves, offering advantages such as minimal invasiveness, broad applicability, and personalized treatment. This article reviews the pathophysiology of PNP and application of PNS in PNP treatment, aiming to provide references for PNP treatment.
