Treating Erythromelalgia with Interosseous Membrane Stimulation: An Autonomic Basis for the Condition and Its Treatment

CONCLUSIONS: Interosseous membrane stimulation is a safe, simple, and effective treatment for erythromelalgia, which is notoriously refractory to treatment. This patient's response to treatment might have been a result of localized derangement of her autonomic nervous system. It is possible that manipulation of the autonomic milieu of an extremity is a significant factor in the mechanism of action of interosseous membrane stimulation.PMID:38659724 | PMC:PMC11036148 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0098
