Background: Chronic neuropathic pain is a major health problem that adversely affects people's physical and mental well-being, as well as their quality of life. 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.

Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a chronic segmental pancreatitis which leads to altered pancreatic secretions and pancreatitis. The exact pathogenesis of GP has not been clearly identified to date but heavy smoking and chronic alcohol consumption seem to be the main factors involved. The resulting chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a debilitating disease causing abdominal pain often refractory to medical therapy, so much that the main indication for surgical treatment is intractable abdominal pain.
