I haven't found too much on the web about this, but I've been told by a physician that a new product, the Nevro Senza neuro stimulator is a significant advance. Supposedly, it reduces pain without producing a tingling sensation (paresthesia). It is not yet approved in the US.

No, just keeping my ear to the ground!

I recently read an article stating this new type of stimulator has been bought by the St. Jude Company, and clinical trials started this month. I applied for the trial but was denied. I was not given a reason.

Yes Dave the Nevro is designed not to give a tingling sensation like other neurostimulators however it is not suitable to everyone according to my doctor. Nerves need a sensation to respond and it's not recommended for irritated or damaged nerves.

The Nevro spinal cord stimulator device is promising, however it is not yet approved for use in the USA, and there are no studies on its efficacy in pelvic pain or pudendal neuralgia.
In the meantime, options of spinal cord stimulation at the conus medullaris is a very promising option, as is stimulation along the S2-S4 roots.
