Take the survey to learn more about Altius, a non-drug treatment for chronic, unmanaged Post-Amputation Pain.

How Altius Works

This animation shows how the Altius system targets the source of chronic Post-Amputation Pain.

- The Altius system uses electrical pulses to target pain at the source.

- Electrodes are wrapped around the affected nerve, and a rechargeable implant sends the electrical pulses.

- Patients control the device with a wireless remote for on-demand pain relief.

50% Reduction in pain.*

POWERFUL RELIEF. PROVEN RESULTS.

In a clinical study1 that followed patients through 12 months, patients treated with the Altius System reported*:

Pain Reduction


-30% less pain in just 30 minutes


-50% reduction in pain in 120 minutes


-50% fewer days with moderate or severe pain

* Patients in the clinical study started therapy with Altius upon feeling pain. Patients averaged ~30% reduction in pain 30 minutes after starting a session and ~50% reduction in pain 120 minutes after starting a session. Days with pain was defined as pain greater than or equal to 4 on a pain intensity scale of 0 to 10. When asked to rate how pain interfered with daily activities on a scale 0-10, patients in the study reported 44% improvement in walking and 48% improvement in relationships after Altius.

Clinical trial for phantom limb pain - 12-month results of the randomized, doubled-blinded, crossed-over QUEST study. Neuromodulation. 2024. 180 patients were enrolled in the clinical study. Individual patient outcomes may vary.

Indications for Use: The Altius® Direct Electrical Nerve Stimulation System is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic intractable phantom and residual lower limb post-amputation pain in adult amputees. Contraindications: The Altius system is contraindicated for patients who are: Unable to operate the system or Unsuitable for the Altius implant surgery. Warnings/Precautions: Use as indicated and instructed. Diathermy should not be used on patients with the Altius System, or any of its components, either as a treatment for a medical condition or as part of a surgical procedure. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a field of energy generated by equipment found in the home, work, medical, or public environments that is strong enough to interfere with Altius system function. The electrical pulses from the Altius system may interact with the sensing operation from a cardiac device and could result in an inappropriate response of the cardiac device; physicians involved should discuss the possible interactions between the devices before surgery. Safety and Effectiveness of Altius System for pediatric use and for pregnant patients has not been established. Surgical complications and adverse events may be more frequent and severe in diabetic patients. Safety of MRI/NMRI with an implanted Altius system has not been evaluated. Patients implanted with the Altius System, or any of its components, should not be subject to MRI/NMRI. See Instructions for Use for detailed information regarding the procedure(s), indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events.

Although FDA has determined that the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks, there remains some uncertainty regarding the manufacturer’s human factors engineering (HFE) and usability engineering (UE) analysis and validation testing. As a condition of approval, FDA is requiring the manufacturer to provide an HFE/UE analysis and validation testing and recommending that this analysis and testing is designed using the FDA’s 2016 guidance document “Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices” (https://www.fda.gov/media/80481/download).
