Lumbar Sympathetic Chain Neuromodulation with Implanted Electrodes for Long-Term Pain Relief in Loin Pain Haematuria Syndrome
Neuromodulation, 10/15/09
Goroszeniuk T et al. – Loin pain–hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is very difficult to treat with some experts maintaining it is mainly psychological. Conservative treatments are often unsatisfactory and radical measures not reliable. Peripheral stimulation of nerves and plexuses has been successful as shown from case reports. All these patients preferred low–frequency stimulation although its precise mode of action is uncertain. The authors' experience shows that lumbar sympathetic chain neuromodulation in intractable LPHS not amenable to conservative therapy is a reasonable alternative before radical interventions. More experience is needed in multiple centers before its recommendation for refractory LPHS.
