Successful Control of Pain from Malignant Psoas Syndrome by Spinal Opioid with Local Anesthetic Agents

ConclusionsThe findings in the present cases indicate neuraxial analgesia may be of benefit, in terms of managing pain and improving functional status, in MPS patients with insufficient pain control by multi‐modal analgesic treatment. Physicians should consider the use of neuraxial analgesia in cases of MPS where pain is uncontrolled with multi‐modal analgesic treatment to provide the best possible quality of life for patients with MPS.This article is protected by copyright.
