Description
- A Sympathetic Nerve Block is a procedure involving the injection of medication near the sympathetic nerves, which are part of the autonomic nervous system. This block aims to interrupt pain signals and provide relief for conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Need for Medical Attention
- Individuals experiencing chronic pain, especially in the arms or legs, associated with sympathetic nerve dysfunction may benefit from a sympathetic nerve block. It is often used as a diagnostic tool and for pain management.
FAQ
- How long does the pain relief from a sympathetic nerve block last?
Relief varies among individuals, but it can last from weeks to months. Repeat injections may be considered for ongoing pain management.
- Are there risks associated with sympathetic nerve blocks?
Risks are generally minimal but may include infection, bleeding, or temporary changes in blood pressure. These should be discussed with the healthcare provider beforehand.
