Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment o...
Ferreira-dos-Santos, G; Hurdle, M; Gupta, S; Ghazi, S; Trigg, S; Clendenen, SThis case report presents an application of peripheral nerve stimulation to the median nerve to treat a patient with intractable pain due to a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the left upper extremity. Ultra high-frequency ultrasound was used to determine the boundaries of the hamartoma. The patient then underwent an ultrasound-guided implantation of 2 stimulator electrodes distal to the elbow along the median nerv...
Revisiting the Genicular Nerve Block: An Up-to-Date Guide Utilizing Ultrasound ...
Ferreira-dos-Santos, G; Hurdle, MF; Gupta, S; Tran, J; Agur, A; Clendenen, SBackground: Over the last decade, several authors have reported that percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) can be used to assist in verifying the position of the procedure needle tip in relation to nerve structures, and that the combined technique using both ultrasound (US) guidance and PNS may serve as a reliable method for confirmation of the correct position of the procedure needle tip. It has also...
