ABSTRACT
The management of pain in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) is often inadequate, and treatments commonly result in adverse effects. A 63-year-old man with the parkinsonian subtype of MSA presented with bilateral neck, shoulder, upper extremity, lower extremity, and low back pain of 6 years' duration. His baseline pain was 5 of 10 with flares to 10 of 10. After 4 35-minute scrambler therapy (ST) treatments, his pain was reduced to 0 of 10. His pain relief after 4 ST sessions lasted for 6 weeks. No complications or adverse effects occurred. ST deserves further study for patients with atypical parkinsonism.
