Summary
Spinal cord stimulation may effectively treat painful diabetic small fiber neuropathy with erythromelalgia-like symptoms. This neuromodulation approach improved pain and autonomic dysfunction in a patient with refractory symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pain Management
- Diabetes Complications
Background:
- Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a painful diabetes complication causing burning pain, dysesthesia, and autonomic issues.
- SFN can overlap with erythromelalgia, characterized by erythema, temperature sensitivity, and vasomotor instability.
- Evidence for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in SFN and erythromelalgia is limited.
