OBJECTIVE: Cancer-related abdominal and pelvic pain syndromes can be debilitating and difficult to treat. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of superior hypogastric plexus blockade or neurolysis (SHPN) for the treatment of cancer-related pelvic pain.
DESIGN: Retrospective study.
SETTING: MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.
METHODS: We enrolled 46 patients with cancer-related pelvic pain who underwent SHPN. A numeric rating scale (NRS) was used for pain intensity, and symptom burden was evaluated using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System at baseline, visit 1 (within one month), and visit 2 (within one to six months).
RESULTS: Forty-six patients who received SHPN showed a significant reduction in pain score from 6.9 to 5.6 at visit 1 (P = 0.01). Thirty of the 46 patients continued to complete visit 2 follow-up, and the NRS score was consistently lower at 4.5 at visit 2 (P < 0.0001), with anxiety and appetite improved significantly. There was no significant change in the morphine equivalent dose at visits 1 and 2. The efficacy of the block was not influenced by patients' age, gender, type of cancer, cancer stage, regimen of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, diagnostic block, approach or laterality of procedure, or type or amount of neurolytic agent. Nonsmokers with high baseline pain scores were more likely to have improved treatment outcomes from SHPN at short-term follow-up. Adverse effects with SHPN were mild and well tolerated.
CONCLUSIONS: SHPN was an effective and relatively safe procedure for pain associated with pelvic malignancies. There is a need for larger prospective trials.
