Abstract
- We experienced a peroneal nerve injured patient who has continuing pain, allodynia, hyperalgesia, and edema as a major painful nature developed after acupuncture and moxibustion. After she was referred to our pain clinic, she received combination treatment with medication, lumbar sympathetic ganglion block, continuous lumbar epidural block, peroneal nerve block, and intravenous ketamine infusion. Now, the symptoms have improved enough for everyday life. It seems that early correct diagnosis and appropriate therapy are important in nerve injury and neuropathic pain.
