Public-source directory pilot

Find PNS for knee pain.

An early inventory that separates knee osteoarthritis, persistent postoperative pain, and unspecified chronic knee-pain use—and distinguishes temporary from permanent systems when a program says which it uses.

Offering confirmed is not clinical verification: the program’s own page discusses PNS for knee pain. Current access, device choice, experience, price, and insurance still require direct confirmation.

How these pilots work →

PNS is not one uniform treatment

Read indication and system separately.

The new taxonomy records only what a first-party source supports. It does not assume that a program treats every knee condition or offers every type of PNS.

Knee use

Listings distinguish knee osteoarthritis, persistent pain after knee surgery, perioperative or acute postoperative use, and other chronic knee pain.

System duration

Temporary percutaneous systems are separated from implanted or longer-term systems. “Both” and “not specified” remain distinct categories.

Evidence boundary

A knee-specific service page qualifies an offering for this pilot. It does not establish patient candidacy, comparative effectiveness, provider quality, or insurance coverage.

Unknown stays unknown

When the public source does not name a system, nerve target, selection pathway, price, or follow-up process, the card says so instead of inferring it.

Taxonomy references: SPR Therapeutics 60-day system indications · Nalu implanted-system information · randomized trial in persistent pain after knee replacement. Device-manufacturer sources define system attributes; they do not determine KneeLife’s clinical conclusions or organic ordering.

A deliberately narrow pilot

Search knee-specific PNS signals.

Generic PNS programs are excluded unless a first-party source explicitly connects the service to knee pain.
