The Sprint PNS system isn't implanted. It's used for about 2 months and removed. An electrode only is inserted. The rest remains external. I think the intent is to train your brain to ignore pain. Hey that all rhymes.
A spinal cord stimulator is intended to be implanted if the trial period is a success.
