Objective: To assess the effectiveness of brachial plexus blockade for the management of severe cancer pain. Method: In six patients with upper limb bone metastases, we assessed the effectiveness of continuous blockade of the brachial plexus. Results: All the study patients had a favorable evolution and analgesia increased with the treatment, without side effects. Conclusions: Continuous analgesia of the brachial plexus is an effective method for the management of upper limb pain caused by metastases.
