Sympathectomy physically destroys relevant nerves anywhere in either of the two sympathetic trunks, which are long chains of nerve ganglia located bilaterally along the vertebral column (a localisation which entails a low risk of injury) responsible for various important aspects of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). (wikipedia.org)
ETS involves dissection of the main sympathetic trunk in the upper thoracic region of the sympathetic nervous system, irreparably disrupting neural messages that ordinarily would travel to many different organs, glands and muscles. (wikipedia.org)
Sympathectomy works by disabling part of the autonomic nervous system (and thereby disrupting its signals from the brain), through surgical intervention, in the expectation of removing or alleviating the designated problem. (wikipedia.org)

Sympathetic denervation caused an increase in intratesticular progesterone levels in prepubertal and early pubertal rats in addition to a decrease in androstenedione and testosterone levels in prepubertal animals, thus indicating a decrease in the conversion of progesterone into androgen, probably by blocking the steroidogenic enzymatic pathway at the 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 desmolase level.

In 1994, a consensus group of pain medicine experts gathered by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) agreed on diagnostic criteria for reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and causalgia, and renamed them complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) types I and II, respectively.

Iontophoresis3
Specialist referral for botulinum toxin A, iontophoresis or sympathectomy should be considered for severe cases. (racgp.org.au)
In the case that even following these tips sweating does not decrease, you can resort to the iontophoresis, Botox or Transthoracic sympathectomy to reduce underarm perspiration. (drcwilliams.com)
Another theory asserts that iontophoresis blocks sympathetic nerve transmission. (mycarpe.com)
Nerve5
The operation is accomplished by dissecting the nerve tissue of the main sympathetic chain. (wikipedia.org)

Neurons3
Recent studies show that selective activation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75 NTR ) in sympathetic neurons causes axon degeneration. (elsevierpure.com)
ProNGF and BDNF preferentially bind p75 NTR rather than TrkA on sympathetic neurons. (elsevierpure.com)
Some specialized neurons, particularly in the hypothalamus, secrete chemical messengers into the blood rather than into a narrow synaptic cleft. (50webs.org)
Nerves3
the endoscopic sympathetic block (ESB) procedure and those procedures that affect fewer nerves have lower risks. (wikipedia.org)
Because these nerves also regulate conditions like excessive blushing or sweating, which the procedure is designed to eliminate, the normative functions these physiological mechanisms perform will be disabled or significantly impaired by sympathectomy. (wikipedia.org)
BOTOX® neurotoxin is injected into the affected areas to help control the excessive sweating condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. (woodburyclinic.co.uk)
These changes were associated to blunted sympathetic activity, which favored the appearance of the obese phenotype. (endocrine-abstracts.org)
Further, Ali observed that tumor-growth inhibition was associated with defects in vessel branching, a phenotype also observed after chemical sympathectomy. (taconic.com)
