ResumoSince the introduction of phenol as a neurolytic agent by Maher (1955, 1957, 1960), extensive experience has been gained—primarily in its use as subarachnoid single dose injections for the treatment of the chronic pain of malignancy. A recent review by Wood (1978) leads to better understanding of the use of phenol for pain control and suggests that epidural administration of phenol for pain therapy needs to be further explored.
