One System. Multiple Mechanisms Of Action.

All the Frequencies You Need to Deliver Relief

Only Nevro delivers 2 – 10,000 Hz stimulation, enabling multiple mechanisms of action. Senza® systems offer both direct neural inhibition with HF10® therapy and dorsal column stimulation with lower frequencies. These mechanisms can be used simultaneously or independently to help manage chronic pain.

How HF10 Therapy Works

Rather than stimulating the dorsal column, HF10 therapy directly targets inhibitory neurons in the dorsal horn, providing pain relief without paresthesia.1,2

Frequency Matters

Frequencies above 5,000 Hz have a unique inhibitory effect on pain circuitry in the dorsal horn. The stimulation drives inhibitory neurons without meaningfully activating the excitatory neurons. This selective activation, called “direct neural inhibition”, reduces the hyperactivity of wide dynamic range neurons implicated in chronic pain.

Frequency Matters
Frequency is Positively Correlated with Pain Relief

Frequency is Positively Correlated with Pain Relief

In the first frequency titration study in humans, patients were given a range of frequencies to compare clinical outcomes. Only 5,882 Hz demonstrated improved pain relief versus sham. Additional studies on HF10 validate the importance of frequency.

Maximum Versatility with Both Mechanisms of Action

Only Nevro systems offer physicians the ability to treat patients with direct neural inhibition and dorsal column stimulation. Waveforms can be paired or delivered independently so you can provide your patients the broadest range of solutions.
