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.
