Brief Summary:
Meralgia paresthetica is an entrapment neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve Its main manifestation is neuropathic pain on the lateral aspect of the thigh Neural prolotherapy has shown improvement and relieve of neuropathic pain
The aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy of neural prolotherapy subcutaneous perineural injection of dextrose 5 solution on reliving pain and improvement of function and quality of life in patients with meralgia paresthetica

Detailed Description:
Meralgia paresthetica is a mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve ie lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh It is known as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh neuralgia It is due to a lot of etiologies It is characterized by neuropathic pain tingling paresthesia and numbness in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh The symptoms may be provoked or worsened by prolonged standing and walking Sitting may alleviate the pain because there is reduction of the tension over the nerve The treatment of meralgia paresthetica is directed towards the improvement of the symptoms which is mainly pain with subsequent improvement of function and quality of life as well as treatment of the etiology The treatment includes conservative and surgical treatment Conservative treatment consists of non-pharmacologic treatment and pharmacologic treatment Surgical treatment takes place in case of failure of the conservative treatment Surgical options consist of neurolysis and neurectomy
Neural prolotherapy was reported to improve and relieve of neuropathic pain including that of meralgia paresthetica Neural prolotherapy is the subcutaneous perineural injection of isotonic dextrose 5 solution especially at the points of fascial penetration of the sensory nerve It is the site where the sensory nerve reaches the subcutaneous plane There are scanty studies assessed this issue
