Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Temporary peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is an established treatment for various pain conditions.
  • Its efficacy in managing chronic pain in the oncologic population remains less explored.

Observation:

  • This case series evaluated 12 oncologic patients with chronic pain refractory to conventional treatments.
  • Peripheral nerve stimulation devices were implanted percutaneously under ultrasound guidance for up to 60 days.

Findings:

  • Seven out of twelve patients experienced successful pain relief and improved functional capacity with PNS.
  • Targeting strategies included proximal spinal nerves for truncal and radicular pain, and peripheral nerves/brachial plexus for other neuropathic pain.
  • Five cases did not achieve adequate pain relief with PNS.

Implications:

  • Peripheral nerve stimulation demonstrates potential as an interventional treatment option for refractory oncologic pain.
  • Further high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings and optimize PNS utilization in cancer pain management.
