Abstract:
In neuropathic pain, the nerve fibers themselves may be damaged, dysfunctional or injured. A 49-year-old female patient experienced radiating right anterior arm pain following an operation on the same arm. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 10. Tramadol, gabapentin and amitriptyline were started as medical treatment. In view of the persisting complaints, epidural pulsed radiofrequency with Pasha-Cath was scheduled. After 2 years, VAS remained at 1-2. It was concluded that epidural pulsed radiofrequency with Pasha-Cath is an alternative and effective choice of treatment in neuropathic pain when the medical treatment alone is not sufficient.
