Paraneoplastic neuropathy, including pruritis, remains a vexing problem as it often does not resolve even with successful treatment of cancer. Scrambler Therapy is a superficial form of neuromodulation that replaces the pain signal with "non-pain information" that is approved for chronic and neuropathic pain, with few side effects. We report here two cases of paraneoplastic neuropathy, one with additional pruritis, that both responded satisfactorily to Scrambler Therapy with no side effects.
副肿瘤性神经病变，包括瘙痒症，仍然是一个棘手的问题，因为即使癌症得到成功治疗，它往往也不会缓解。扰频器疗法是一种浅表神经调节形式，它用“非疼痛信息”取代疼痛信号，该疗法已被批准用于治疗慢性疼痛和神经性疼痛，且副作用很少。我们在此报告两例副肿瘤性神经病变病例，其中一例伴有额外的瘙痒症，这两例病例对扰频器疗法均反应良好，且无副作用。
