摘要
ObjectiveComplex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful and disabling syndrome in which the patient presents with neuropathic pain, edema, or vasomotor or pseudomotor abnormalities that are often refractory to treatment. Polio paralysis is caused by the damage or destruction of motor neurons in the spine, which lead to corresponding muscle paralysis. This report is a case report on the application of a pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) current to dorsal root ganglia (DRG) for the treatment of CRPS type 1 in an adolescent patient. DesignSingle case report. SettingSelcuk University Hospital. PatientA 16-year-old girl who suffered from CRPS type 1 secondary to surgeries for the sequelae of poliomyelitis. InterventionsPRF current application to the lumbar 4 and lumbar 5 DRG. Outcome MeasuresPain reduction. ResultsThe patient had complete resolution of her symptoms, which was maintained at a 6-month follow-up. ConclusionsThis case illustrates that PRF applied to lumbar 4 and lumbar 5 DRG may play a significant role in CRPS type 1 management after the surgical treatment of poliomyelitis sequelae in adolescent patients. Further randomized, controlled studies are needed to support this argument.
