Stingray Envenomation Resulting in Neuropathy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Treated With Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stingray stings frequently result in severe but temporary pain; they can occasionally result in significant complications, including peripheral nerve injuries and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). CRPS is characterized by severe, persistent pain and functional impairment, often following a nerve injury. Conservative treatments may be insufficient, necessitating advanced management strategies. A 19-year-old patient presented with radial neuropathy and CRPS following a stingray sting. Despite conservative treatment and orthopedic surgery, the patient's condition progressed, resulting in debilitating pain and functional limitations. The decision was made to place a SPRINT peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) system (SPR, Cleveland, OH, US). Sixty days of right radial nerve stimulation resulted in a significant reduction in pain, improved function, and enhanced quality of life. The patient experienced sustained pain relief and functional improvement over the follow-up period after removal of the device. While implanted spinal cord stimulators and permanent peripheral nerve stimulators have been used in the management of the pain from complex regional pain syndrome for many years, and this system is likely being used in the treatment of CRPS currently, this report adds to the literature evidence that use of a 60 day temporary PNS system early in the disease course may resolve the condition before it can become chronic. This case highlights the potential of PNS in managing complex pain syndromes and suggests that further research is needed to confirm its broader applicability and long-term benefits.
