Successful Treatment of Meralgia Paresthetica with Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
Pain Physician, 10/01/09

Philip CN et al. – The patient had experienced long–standing pain that was recalcitrant to conservative/pharmacologic therapy and multiple nerve blocks with local steroid instillations. A single treatment with pulsed radiofrequency resulted in complete and sustained cessation of pain. No side effects were evident. Pulsed radiofrequency of the LFCN may offer an effective, low risk treatment in patients with meralgia paresthetica who are refractory to conservative medical management or are unwilling or unfit to undergo surgery.
