The important use of ultrasound on a child with chronic pain

We have carefully read, "Interventional and multimodal pain rehabilitation in a child with meralgia paresthetica," by Franklin and colleagues [1]. The authors describe a 9year-old girl with a 6week-history of pain in the distribution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). Symptomatic treatment with Gabapentin and Meloxicam, along with physical therapy, was attempted with mild improvement. Subsequently, two ultrasound-guided LFCN nerve blocks were performed with resolution of pain.
