Abstract
Peripheral neuralgia is a common cause of chronic pain. Treatment might be challenging, and the condition can be resistant to commonly used treatment modalities for chronic pain. We present five cases of peripheral neuralgia who were successfully treated using wireless peripheral nerve stimulation. This was a retrospective case series that includes a description of five patients who underwent wireless peripheral nerve stimulator therapy for the treatment of peripheral neuralgia. The patients in this case series underwent peripheral nerve stimulator placement for the treatment of superior cluneal, sural, ilioinguinal and genitofemoral neuralgias. Patients reported a decline in their Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores from a mean of 6.4 before the procedure to a score of 1 following implant. The change in pain scores was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). We present five patients with peripheral neuralgias resistant to other treatment modalities who received excellent pain relief following implantation of a peripheral nerve stimulator.
