摘要: Twenty-four individuals with sympathetically maintained pain were treated by posterior paravertebral T2 sympathectomy following transient response to sympathetic nerve blockade. Eight surgical patients (33.4%) had causalgia, and 16 (66.4%) suffered reflex dystrophy. Overall, physical evidence of improvement was noted in 87% patients, subjective 71%. Reflex dystrophy fared better than those causalgia. Complications minor. The techniques employed appear safe effective; a multidisciplinary approach neurosurgery, physiatry, anesthesiology, psychology, allied health services is recommended.
