    Abstract

    Introduction

    Meralgia paresthetica is common but often remains unrecognized. The condition is managed with conservative therapy in most cases. Rarely, surgery is required. If it remains unresolved, it can lead to chronic pain. Research on rehabilitation therapy of meralgia paresthetica is sparse. Mirror therapy is a simple, noninvasive neurorehabilitation technique without side effects. We investigated the role of mirror therapy with brushing of thigh in our patient who has already been treated with various conservative therapies without any improvement. Our patient showed effective pain relief after mirror therapy.
