Abstract
Aim: Despite the growing evidence supporting the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for cancer pain in adults, it is underutilized in the pediatric oncology population. Method: We describe the use of temporary, percutaneous PNS for pain management in pediatric patients suffering from cancer related pain. Results: Two adolescent patients underwent an ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve PNS placement utilizing the percutaneous 60-day therapy system. Both patients reported approximately 60% pain relief during the therapy, as well as up to 90 days post lead removal. Conclusion: PNS may play a crucial role in the pediatric oncology population. Further studies are warranted to investigate the efficacy and safety of PNS for various cancer-related pain conditions in pediatric populations.
