Ultrasound-guided percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic refractory neuropathic pain : a unique series

During the last two decades, with the advent of recent technology, peripheral nerve stimulation has become an appealing modality at the forefront of pain management. In this case series, we document the clinical rationale and technical considerations on three of the most challenging cases, refractory to previous interventions, that were treated by our team with an ultrasound-guided percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulator targeting the musculocutaneous, bilateral greater occipital and subcostal nerves. At the 6-month follow-up, all patients experienced greater than 50% relief of baseline pain, with a near-complete resolution of pain exacerbations. Furthermore, to our knowledge, this is the first report of an ultrasound-guided percutaneous technique of a peripheral nerve stimulator targeting the musculocutaneous and subcostal nerves.
