Despite concerns, PNB showed favourable outcomes in a pediatric cohort with CMT disease, with low opioid consumption and pain scores and minimal complications during follow-up. These findings match previous reports of adult patients with CMT disease and suggest that the benefits of PNB may outweigh the perceived risks in pediatric patients with CMT disease.
