Treatment of failed back surgery syndrome with regional sugar water injections: A clinical case report

Failed back surgery syndrome is a chronic pain condition that persists despite or after surgical intervention. It presents a disabling condition that is difficult to manage. Over the last decade, regional sugar water injections have become popular for the treatment of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes. This article describes the case of a patient with persistent pseudo-sciatica despite surgery who underwent multiple sessions of sugar water injections. This study aimed to share this experience with the global medical community. Further clinical investigations are required to confirm whether this novel approach can effectively treat patients with this condition.
