Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Radial Nerve for Refractory Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2: A Case Report

• Peripheral nerve stimulation is well-documented treatment for radial nerve neuropathy, among other indications

• However, use for refractory complex regional pain syndrome type 2 by radial nerve not well established

• This case highlights refractory complex regional pain syndrome afflicting radial nerve distribution, and successful treatment with radial permanent peripheral nerve stimulator

• Our case shows success of permanent peripheral nerve stimulator in treating radial nerve pain associated with CRPS Type 2

• It is one of few to discuss PNS for radial nerve CRPS, providing insights into a novel treatment option where there is lack of literature for managing CRPS with radial nerve involvement.
