Cancer-related neuropathic pain often responds poorly to standard pain treatments. Scrambler therapy has relieved refractory chronic pain in several uncontrolled clinical trials.
An 11-year-old female patient was suffering from left groin and medial thigh pain after irradiation to the knee. The girl was diagnosed with precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia 2 years ago. Extramedullary relapse of leukemia developed 1 month ago and pain had started. She was treated with oral medications, but she was continuously complaining of severe pain.

Scrambler therapy is noninvasive, is not associated with any complications, causes minimal discomfort during treatment, and is very effective in a pediatric patient with cancer-related neuropathic pain.

一名11岁女性患者在接受膝盖放疗后出现左腹股沟和大腿内侧疼痛。该女孩2年前被诊断为前体B细胞淋巴细胞白血病。1个月前白血病发生髓外复发并开始疼痛。她接受了口服药物治疗,但仍不断抱怨剧痛。
