NEUROSTIMULATION METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE TO SEVERE CHRONIC NOCICEPTIVE PAIN IN KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

摘要

A method for treating chronic nociceptive pain of knee osteoarthritis comprising the steps of: placing a first set of electrodes in contact with the skin on the inner side of the knee on the path of the infrapatellar nerve; and generating a first electrical signal with a signal generator and applying said first signal to the first set of electrodes so as to produce external, i.e. non invasive, electrostimulation of the infrapatellar nerve of the knee.
