Location: 301 - 302

Introduction: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability globally1. Despite diverse treatments, many patients with non-radicular pain experience limited relief2. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has emerged as a novel treatment which delivers targeted electrical impulses via an implanted lead to a specific nerve3. Research specific to PNS use in non-radicular lumbar p</span>ain remains limited4. As such, this study aims to understand how PNS in these patients impacts pain relief and functional outcomes.
