It was thought that since amplified pain runs through the autonomic, or sympathetic nerves, that blocking or numbing these nerves would be beneficial. Typically, the reason given is to reduce pain to allow for more intense physical therapy. People have attempted this with guanethidine, reserpine, lumbar, axillary or stellate ganglion blocks. It was recognized early on that these do not have lasting effects and in 273 patients treated with sympathetic blockade only 7% had good or lasting results. A Cochrane systematic review was unable to determine if sympathetic blocks were effective and found little evidence to support them as standard of care in the treatment of CRPS. Sympathetic blocks for fibromyalgia have been done unsuccessfully. Sympathetic blocks have not been studied in children and have significant risks. One of my patients had her liver lacerated when they did a lumbar block and it had to be surgically repaired. Many prominent pediatric anesthesiologists no longer recommend ...

The effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the blood flow of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary retina, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a major blinding disease, e.g. glaucoma, are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a sympathetic block on the blood flow of the ONH and the peripapillary retina. Heidelberg Retinal Flowmetry, which is a system incorporating a noninvasive confocal scanning laser Doppler flow meter, was used to measure the retinal blood flow. A unilateral stellate ganglion block was performed in 11 healthy subjects. The retinal blood flows were measured before, 30 and 120 min after SGB. On each occasion, three scans were obtained and the blood flow was analyzed. The systemic blood pressure (BP) and the intraocular pressure (IOP) were also measured at the set time points ...

The first step of the stellate ganglion block treatment is applying a local anesthetic to the treatment area. This helps to relieve any discomfort that may occur during the injection process. Once the treatment area is numbed, a needle will be carefully inserted into the stellate ganglion nerves, which will be accessed from the front of either side of the neck. After the needle is in place, the injection will be performed. This treatment is typically completed in less than an hour. After treatment, you may notice some minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, but these effects usually fade within a few days ...

The vertebral artery usually runs ventrally to the seventh cervical transverse process and enters the foramen transversarium of the sixth cervical vertebra. However, it enters the foramen transversarium of the fifth cervical vertebra or higher in some people. In addition, tortuous vertebral arteries are more frequent on the left.46 These anatomical characteristics of the vertebral artery lead to speculate that SGB using the anterior paratracheal approach is more likely to puncture the vertebral artery, especially on the left.47 However, our analyses revealed that patients who developed RPH after SGB showed no laterality or any apparent difference between SGBs aiming at C6 and those aiming at C7. Many patients developed RPH after SGB despite having a negative aspiration test for blood before SGB. In addition, surgical and autopsy findings in the patients with RPH after SGB showed that there was no injury to the vertebral artery, but rather bleeding from arterioles.6,22 These findings, in ...

Stellate Ganglion Block: The sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves throughout your body. The nerves branch from your spine. They control some body functions, such as closing of blood vessels. A problem with these nerves can affect blood flow and cause pain. Symptoms are often felt in the hands or feet. They may hurt, burn, feel cold, or be tender to the touch. This block is performed under X-ray guidance to determine if there is damage to the sympathetic nerve chain and if it is the source of the patients arm pain. This block may be used to diagnose the cause of pain and may also provide pain relief. A local anesthetic injection is given near the base of the neck on the affected side. [Learn More + Video].

Erythromelalgia (EM) is an uncommon condition characterized by erythema, increased skin temperature, and burning pain, most frequently occurring in the lower extremities. The pain is generally very severe and treatment can be extremely challenging, especially in the pediatric and adolescent population. We report a series of three cases of primary EM in pediatric patients involving the lower extremities, refractory to medical treatment that responded favorably to computed-tomography-guided lumbar sympathetic blockade. There was a significant improvement in pain scores, quality of life, and overall function as well as decreased analgesic requirements. Lumbar sympathetic blockade should be considered as a therapeutic modality in pediatric and adolescent patients with EM who are refractory to other treatments.

The prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer is poor, with a 5-year survival rate of only 6%.[4] Most patients have inoperable disease at the time of diagnosis and are referred for palliative care.[2] In addition to the poor survival statistics, patients are often faced with severe, unrelenting abdominal pain. The primary mechanisms for this pain are pancreatic duct obstruction and neuropathy.[2] Approximately 80% of patients with pancreatic cancer experience pain, and half require strong opioids for pain control.[2] When analgesics are insufficient, the next step in palliative pain management is generally CPN.. CPN is a highly effective method of pain management for patients with pancreatic cancer. About 70-90% of patients experience complete or partial pain relief following CPN that lasts until their time of death.[3] It is generally considered a safe procedure, with serious complications being rare.[1,5,6] Common complications include transient back pain, diarrhea, and orthostatic ...

After gauging student feedback, Student Government Board has extinguished a resolution to support a tobacco-free campus.. At its weekly public meeting Wednesday night, SGB member Jack Heidecker made a motion to remove his tobacco-ban bill, a resolution that said SGB would support University efforts to make Pitt a tobacco-free campus. A committee consisting of students, faculty and staff, which Heidecker serves on, could still draw up a policy to make campus tobacco-free, but it wont have SGBs official backing.. After introducing the legislation last week, SGB posted a survey online asking for student feedback on the bill. About 750 students voted on the policy, which 50.02 percent favored and about 47 percent opposed.. Three percent voted that they were unsure whether they supported a tobacco-free policy.. It was basically split at that point, Heidecker said. The Board as a whole didnt feel comfortable voting on the resolution.. Heidecker, who authored the resolution and has made the ...

The celiac plexus is also called the solar plexus. It is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen, where the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta. This network of nerves is formed by the splanchnic nerves and the right vagus nerve and comprises the portion of the autonomic nervous system that operates the abdominal organs.

Following up on Celiac Awareness Month, Id like to share something I learned many years ago in my cadaver lab. Youve heard the term solar plexus, right? Well, its not called the solar plexus, its the CELIAC plexus. A plexus is a intricate network of nerves or vessels in the body. The following was taken directly from my Principles of Anatomy and Physiology textbook: The celiac plexus is found at the last thoracic and first lumbar vertebrae. It is the largest autonomic plexus and surrounds the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. It contains two large celiac ganglia and a dense network of autonomic axons. Secondary plexuses that arise from the celiac plexus are distributed to the liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, medulla (inner region) of the adrenal gland, testes, and ovaries.. Doesnt that sound like this celiac plexus thingy-ma-bob has an important role? Like maybe keeping us alive?. Then how come so many people in the healthcare profession (including doctors) ...
