Pain is common in the acute phase of Guillain–Barré Syndrome and can be severe and refractory. Pain in GBS may not always respond to contemporary pain therapy. An epidural can potentially be considered for the treatment of refractory pain after a careful patient‐centered discussion with the patient about risks.

Pain can be a challenging complication experienced by patients who have Guillain- Barré Syndrome(GBS). Managing pain can be difficult and may require the use of multiple agents and still may not treat pain. This case report describes the use of an epidural to manage pain in a patient with GBS.
