Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) may offer a minimally invasive option earlier in the treatment continuum for adults with chronic neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional medical management. We conducted a health technology assessment of PNS for adults with chronic neuropathic pain, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding PNS, and patient preferences and values.

Purpose: Radiation therapy is used in over 60% of cancer patients and can lead to radiation dermatitis, radiation induced fibrosis, hyperpigmentation, telangiectasias, fat necrosis, and poor wound healing. Deferoxamine (DFO) is an iron-chelating agent that has been used systemically to treat iron overload conditions and more recently been studied to treat radiation fibrosis. Through iron chelation, DFO stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor-1α, driving downstream upregulation of angiogenic factors, and reduces formation of reactive oxygen species, thereby offering a potential therapy for radiation associated chronic wounds.
