Abstract

The management of neuropathic pain in children poses an enormous challenge for pediatricians and pain management physicians. Current treatment options include physical therapy and medication management. Peripheral nerve stimulation/neuromodulation is a novel and minimally invasive treatment that can be initiated and monitored in an outpatient setting. This new technology can be a useful tool for treating pain secondary to pediatric neuropathy and chronic refractory pain after conservative management. Our case report describes the use of a peripheral nerve stimulator in the successful management of pediatric neuropathic leg pain.
