A 54\u2010year\u2010old female, who underwent chemotherapy and mastectomy for left\u2010sided breast cancer, presented to the pain clinic describing continuous and severe shock\u2010like pain in the posterolateral aspect of the left upper limb, above the elbow. A diagnosis of chemotherapy\u2010induced peripheral neuropathy was made. Pain management with multi\u2010modal analgesia was not fully effective and pulsed radiofrequency was offered as an alternative. Ultrasonography of the supraclavicular region was used to identify the brachial plexus, followed by pulsed radiofrequency using an insulated\u2010tip needle that produced paraesthesia in the affected area. Onset of pain relief occurred one\u00a0week post\u2010procedure and lasted approximately 10\u00a0weeks. An estimated 80% decrease in pain intensity was reported by the patient. We propose that pulsed radiofrequency can be offered as a pain management alternative in certain presentations of chemotherapy\u2010induced peripheral neuropathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/anr3.12000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,8]],"date-time":"2019-04-08T03:25:38Z","timestamp":1554693938000},"page":"14-17","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pulsed radiofrequency of the brachial plexus in the treatment of chemotherapy\u2010induced peripheral neuropathy of the upper limb"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"J.
