Management of Osteoarthritic Axial Neck Pain With Cervical Neuromodulation
1Anesthesiology, University of Vermont Health Network, Burlington, USA.
Abstract:
Chronic refractory facetogenic axial neck pain is a challenging diagnosis to manage long-term. With limited options available for patients who have failed cervical medial branch blocks, patients often have to endure a poor quality of life. Although neuromodulation devices such as peripheral nerve stimulators are currently available for the management of various chronic conditions, their role in the treatment of axial neck pain has not been studied. We present a case of successful management of facetogenic axial neck pain with cervical medial branch peripheral nerve stimulation.
