Abstract

Management of neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) typically involves pharmacotherapy, but refractory cases may require interventions like scrambler therapy, used for various neuropathic pain conditions. We report a patient with a 15-year history of refractory NCP who underwent scrambler therapy after failed treatments. Over five consecutive days, she received 45-minute sessions with six electrodes placed around both eyes. Post-treatment, her pain resolved completely, and she reported improved screen tolerance, reduced medication use, and better quality of life. This case supports scrambler therapy's potential for NCP and discusses its underlying pathophysiology.

扰频器治疗双侧神经性角膜疼痛的独特应用:一例报告。
神经性角膜疼痛(NCP)的治疗通常涉及药物治疗,但难治性病例可能需要干预,如用于各种神经性疼痛条件的扰频疗法。我们报告一位15年难治性NCP病史的患者,在治疗失败后接受了扰频器治疗。在连续五天的时间里,她接受了45分钟的治疗,在双眼周围放置了6个电极。治疗后,她的疼痛完全缓解,她的筛查耐受性提高,药物使用减少,生活质量提高。本病例支持扰频疗法治疗非传染性肺炎的潜力,并讨论了其潜在的病理生理。
