Implantable device
This is more like surgery. It involves a surgeon implanting a device into your body. Some devices are used in the brain and some are used in the spine.
The work of the device once in place is to send electrical impulses into the brain, spinal cord, or nerves. The impulses may stop the irregular nerve signals and control symptoms.
This is usually the last resort of treatment after which the individual is not responding to other forms of treatment options.
Lifestyle treatments
Certain lifestyle activities can help ease the symptoms of nerve pain. Examples include Physical, relaxation, and massage therapies. These forms of treatment can help ease muscles.
Your healthcare provider can also teach you ways to cope with your pain.
For example, some people with neuropathic pain may experience increased symptoms after sitting for several hours. This might make desk jobs difficult to perform.
A physical therapist or occupational therapist can teach you techniques for sitting, stretching, standing, and moving to prevent pain.
