    La elevada incidencia y prevalencia del dolor lumbar y del cervical en las sociedades industrializadas hace que se consideren patologías de primer orden en los sistemas sanitarios, ya que además del elevado consumo de recursos sanitarios generan una importante pérdida de horas laborales. Son múltiples las opciones terapéuticas para el tratamiento de estos procesos, planteándose la estimulación eléctrica percutánea (PNT) como una novedad dentro del abanico de posibilidades de tratamiento. Como característica diferencial con otros sistemas de neuromodulación resulta menos invasiva y con un perfil de seguridad y eficacia realmente notable. Presentamos una recopilación de los datos publicados más relevantes que avalan esta técnica y un breve comentario de los resultados preliminares de su utilización en nuestro país.

    The high incidence and prevalence of low back and cervical pain in industrialized societies ensues its importance for health systems. These conditions generate a high consumption of health resources and a significant loss of working hours. Among the therapeutic options for the treatment of these processes, Percutaneous Neuromodulation Therapy (PNT) is an innovative procedure within the range of therapies available. PNT, unlike other neuromodulation systems, is less invasive and has a considerable safety and efficacy profile. A review of the relevant published data regarding this technique and a brief report on its preliminary results for its use in our country are made.
