Pulsed radiofrequency ablation of median nerve in a patient with soft tissue sarcoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a novel therapeutic modality with many potential applications in pain management. A 14-year-old male patient with soft tissue sarcoma of right hand in the first and second interdigital cleft came with complaints of severe pain in the region of the swelling. On polypharmacy, including narcotics, the patient had a Visual Analog Score (VAS) of 9/10. A diagnostic ultrasound guided median nerve block was given with local anaesthetic and steroid, which decreased the VAS score to 2-3/10. The pain recurred after 4 weeks and pulsed radiofrequency ablation of the median nerve was done. The VAS score now is 2/10 and the patient is comfortably using his hand.
