Neuro-Stim Systems at Balcones Pain Consultants

The NSS (Neuro-Stim System) is a family of conveniently packaged products, methods, training, and services, which allows clinicians the option of providing non-narcotic alternatives to a target population of acute and chronic pain patients.

The Neuro-Stim System: A Non-Narcotic Alternative Treatment

The NSS™ family of devices are FDA cleared auricular peripheral nerve field stimulators contained in the NSS Surgical Kit designed to provide you, the clinician, with another tool in your toolbox to address the many problems you face in your day-to-day practice. Specific instructions and information can be found in the IFU (Instructions for Use) contained inside the packaging of every NSS Surgical Kit.

Clinical research in the application of these devices has been overwhelmingly positive! IHS is involved with several University-based studies, and is dedicated to providing solid scientific evidence to fully verify the efficacy of its products. IHS has several completed IRB approved studies that are available upon request. Randomized, Double Blind, Sham controlled studies are on-going with extremely positive interim results.

IHS is a proud partner in many community-based outreach and support programs as well as ongoing education and support in conjunction with VA, DoD and veteran organizations.

The NSS™ family of products allows clinicians the option of considering non-narcotic alternatives for patients. Each IHS representative as well as each clinical provider is carefully trained and must pass a certification exam including written, visual, and hands-on training.

Patients for whom the use of NSS may be restricted include any patients with:

  • Implantable electrical devices including cardiac pacemakers and brain shunts
  • History of seizures
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Chronic low blood pressure
  • Medications design to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
  • Psoriasis Vulgaris
  • Localized skin infections
  • Pregnancy
