Can Electrical Stimulation Still Help When Sciatic Pain Has Lasted for Years?

Can electrical stimulation calm sciatic nerve pain that lasts for years?
What if real hospitals already tested this on real patients?

This question stopped many people mid-scroll.
Because sciatic pain is stubborn, long-lasting, and hard to manage.
So French university hospitals decided to investigate it properly.

They studied people with nerve pain lasting almost four years.
Not days. Not weeks. Years.

Patients used electrical stimulation every day at home.
Three sessions daily. One hour each.
This continued for months, not minutes.

Pain scores went down after one month.
Some people dropped below moderate pain levels.
Daily movement also improved, not just pain numbers.

Relief often continued after sessions ended.
Not everyone responded, but many clearly did.

Most patients chose to keep using electrical stimulation after six months.
People do not continue something that gives no value.

Side effects were rare and mostly mild.
Safety remained strong over long-term use.

Researchers compared two stimulation patterns.
Results were similar.
Consistency mattered more than complexity.

This study does not promise cures.
It does not give medical advice.
But it reveals something important about electrical stimulation and nerve pain.

Curious what else the researchers discovered?
