Abstract
Superior cluneal neuralgia (SCN) is a distinct cause of lower back and/or leg pain related to pathology of the superior cluneal nerve. When assessing a patient with low back pain (LBP), superior cluneal neuralgia is frequently misdiagnosed. The pathophysiology of SCN ranges from myofascial compression brought on by aberrant muscle tone to direct iatrogenic injury or trauma. In this technical report we will discuss the anatomy of superior cluneal nerve, superior cluneal neuralgia, current treatment modalities, and a novel approach to peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) lead placement via a cadaver demonstration for SCN.
